EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Ionian Islands" takes us on a visual journey through the stunning landscapes and rich history of this Greek archipelago. The engraving, created by Charles William Wyllie in 1892, beautifully captures the essence of these enchanting islands. At first glance, our eyes are drawn to the ancient Hyllaean harbor nestled amidst towering cliffs. A far projecting rock of woe stands as a testament to the treacherous nature of these waters. As we enter further into the image, we are greeted by a picturesque scene featuring lagoons and a charming peasant girl. The autumn cruise depicted here allows us to explore various highlights of the Ionian Islands. We witness the majestic Isle of Pontikonisi with its mythical allure and catch glimpses of Corfu Harbor bustling with Phoenician ships. Our attention is then pulled towards an intriguing grotto where Ulysses once plunged into unknown depths. Stone coasters dotting Corfu's shoreline remind us of its historical significance as a trading hub. As we venture deeper into this artwork, we encounter Lake Kalikiopoulo guarded by an angry Poseidon and nymphs frolicking along St Maura's causeway. Sappho's presence can be felt near Leukas while Ithaca beckons from afar with Cape Doucato standing tall against azure skies. Through this mesmerizing composition, Bridgeman Images transports us back in time to experience Greece's timeless beauty and mythology
