EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the frontispiece from "Myths and Legends of the Celtic Race" by T. W. Rolleston, published in 1911. Created as a color lithograph by Joseph Christian Leyendecker, this artwork is part of a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection. The central figure depicted in this illustration is none other than Queen Maev, the powerful ruler of Connacht in Irish mythology's Ulster Cycle. With an air of regality and strength, Queen Maev sits upon her majestic throne, exuding authority and command. Dressed in intricate royal attire adorned with symbols of her status, she holds a shield firmly against her side—a clear representation of her role as protector and defender. Her gaze is unwavering and determined, reflecting both wisdom and determination that befit a queen. Joseph Christian Leyendecker's artistic prowess shines through his meticulous attention to detail and vibrant use of colors. His portrayal captures the essence of Queen Maev's legendary character while adding his own unique American illustrator touch. This magnificent piece transports viewers into the realm of myth and legend—conjuring images of ancient Ireland where queens ruled with grace and might. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these stories continue to captivate our imagination and inspire us with tales of strong female leaders who shaped history.
