EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image, we are transported back to the world of Greek mythology as we witness Narcissus admiring his own reflection on the surface of a tranquil lake. The colorization of this 19th-century illustration brings new life to the story of Narcissus, a figure known for his excessive self-love and vanity.
As we gaze upon Narcissus lost in contemplation of his own beauty, we are reminded of the dangers of narcissism and self-absorption. The hand-colored halftone reproduction captures every detail of this mythological scene, from the delicate flowers surrounding Narcissus to the shimmering water reflecting his image back at him.
The intricate engraving work highlights the ethereal beauty and tragic fate of Narcissus, whose obsession with himself ultimately led to his demise. This illustration serves as a timeless reminder that true beauty lies not in outward appearances but in humility and compassion towards others.
Through this stunning depiction, we are invited to ponder our own reflections and consider how our actions impact those around us. Like Narcissus gazing into the lake, may we strive for inner beauty and genuine connections with others rather than being consumed by our own image.
