EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported to a mythical world where the story of Telephasa unfolds. The image showcases an exquisite print titled "The Dragons Teeth: When they had been gone a year, Telephasa threw away her crown" by George Soper. Telephasa, a queen from ancient Greek folklore, is depicted in regal attire with her discarded crown lying at her feet. The artist skillfully captures the essence of the moment when Telephasa decides to relinquish her royal status. Her face reveals both determination and relief as she removes the symbol of power that once adorned her forehead. The composition exudes an air of mystery and intrigue as we ponder what led Telephasa to discard such a prestigious accessory. Perhaps it was the weight of responsibility or societal expectations that chafed against her spirit, prompting this bold act. Soper's attention to detail is evident in every line and shadow, bringing life to this enchanting scene from Tanglewood Tales published in 1920s England. Through his artistry, he invites us into a realm where myths and legends intertwine with human emotions. This mesmerizing print serves as a reminder that sometimes true freedom lies not in material possessions or titles but in embracing our authentic selves. As we gaze upon Telephasa's abandoned crown, we are inspired to question our own attachments and consider what truly brings us joy and fulfillment.
