EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph by John Harris Valda, we are transported back in time to witness a momentous event. The image depicts a messenger returning from Oroetus, his face beaming with excitement as he carries tales of tremendous riches. Created around 1950, this print is part of the Newnes Pictorial Knowledge collection published by George Newnes Limited. The scene unfolds within the opulent walls of a palace, adorned with intricate Greek architecture and lavish decorations. Servants dressed in elaborate costumes attend to their duties while the messenger stands at the center, eagerly recounting his journey. His words hold the promise of untold wealth and prosperity. This artwork takes us on a journey through history, evoking images of ancient Egypt and its legendary rulers like Amasis and Polycrates. It reminds us of an era when tyrants held power over vast islands like Samos. Valda's skillful engraving technique brings life to every detail in this composition – from the expressions on each character's face to the grandeur of their surroundings. The artist masterfully captures both the anticipation felt by those listening intently and our own curiosity about what lies beyond Oroetus. As we gaze upon this litho from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we can't help but imagine ourselves among these figures, caught up in their stories of unimaginable riches. It serves as a reminder that even today, tales passed down through generations continue to captivate our imagination and inspire dreams for greater fortune.
