EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a majestic gryphon, a mythical creature from ancient folklore also known as a gryphus or greiff. Classified as a bird due to its eagle-like head and wings, the gryphon defies conventional taxonomy with its distinct lion-like body. The gryphon's historical origins can be traced back to ancient civilizations, including Egypt and Greece, where it was believed to symbolize power, strength, and divine protection. This particular gryphon print, dating from circa 1650, is a testament to the enduring appeal of this enigmatic creature. Its intricately detailed features, from the sharp, regal gaze of its eagle head to the muscular, feline form of its body, are rendered with remarkable skill and artistry. The gryphon's wings, spread wide, evoke a sense of grandeur and awe, as if the creature is ready to take flight at any moment. The gryphon's historical significance is further underscored by the provenance of this print, which is sourced from the esteemed Mary Evans Picture Library. Founded in 1932, the library has amassed an extensive collection of historical images, making it a valuable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone with an interest in the past. This gryphon print, with its rich history and captivating imagery, offers a glimpse into the folklore and mythology of a bygone era. It serves as a reminder of the power of storytelling and the enduring allure of the mythical creatures that have shaped our collective imagination for centuries.
