EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite engraving titled "Echo" by Samuel Read. Created in 1869, this artwork was originally featured as an illustration for The Illustrated London News. Now part of a private collection, it has been preserved and made available through Bridgeman Images. The image depicts Echo, a mythological figure from Greek mythology known for her ability to repeat or mimic sounds. With intricate details and delicate lines, Read's engraving beautifully captures the essence of this enchanting character. The fine craftsmanship is evident in every stroke, showcasing the artist's skill and attention to detail. The composition exudes a sense of mystery and intrigue as Echo stands amidst lush foliage with her hand delicately placed on her chest. Her gaze is fixed on something unseen, perhaps listening intently to distant whispers carried by the wind. This ethereal scene transports viewers into a world where ancient myths come alive. Accompanied by sheet music composed by John Latey and Henry Smart, this artwork not only appeals visually but also engages our auditory senses. It invites us to imagine what melodies might have accompanied Echo's presence in ancient times. This remarkable print allows art enthusiasts to bring home a piece of history while celebrating the timeless beauty found within classical engravings like "Echo. "
