This 19th-century line engraving, titled "THE ROC" takes us on a journey into the realm of myth and wonder. Inspired by the vivid descriptions of Venetian traveler Marco Polo, it depicts a legendary giant bird carrying not one, but three majestic elephants with its powerful talons. In this mesmerizing artwork, we witness the sheer magnitude and strength of this mythical creature as it soars through the skies. Its enormous wingspan stretches wide, effortlessly supporting its colossal cargo high above the earth. The intricate details in every stroke bring to life Polo's fantastical account from his medieval travels. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this extraordinary bird; its long tail trailing behind like a regal banner and its beak poised for flight. As we gaze upon this print, our imagination is transported back to an era where tales of mythical creatures were whispered around campfires. "The Roc" serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with legends that transcend time and culture. It reminds us that even in our modern world, there is still room for enchantment and awe-inspiring wonders beyond what meets the eye. This remarkable piece from The Granger Collection invites us to embrace our sense of wonderment and explore realms where reality intertwines with mythology – all within the confines of an exquisite 19th-century engraving.
