EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intriguing engraving titled "Advert for an exhibition of the Statue of Milo attacked by a Wolf". Created by the English School in the 19th century, this artwork is part of a private collection. The image depicts a scene that evokes both awe and curiosity. In the foreground, we see the majestic statue of Milo, renowned for its timeless beauty and classical elegance. However, what sets this particular depiction apart is the unexpected presence of a ferocious wolf lunging towards it. This juxtaposition between grace and danger creates a sense of tension and intrigue. The advert itself promotes an exhibition organized by Mr Lough at Great Room in Maddox Street, Hanover Square, London on June 18th, 1827. It not only features the infamous attack on Milo but also references another biblical tale: Samson and the Philistines. This engraving transports us back to a time when exhibitions were grand events filled with wonderment and discovery. The inclusion of wild animals such as wolves adds an element of excitement to attract visitors from all walks of life. Through this image, we are reminded of humanity's fascination with artistry and storytelling throughout history. It serves as a testament to our enduring desire to be captivated by tales from ancient times while simultaneously embracing contemporary creativity. Overall, this print offers us a glimpse into both artistic expression and historical advertisement techniques—an enthralling combination that continues to inspire today's audiences.
