From the Byzantine Empire's vast territories depicted in a 9th-century map to Dante's Inferno illustrated in a Venetian edition of the Divine Comedy, these woodcuts transport us back in time. Intriguingly, even Greek mythology comes alive through this ancient art form. Witness the majestic Greek gods residing on Mount Olympus as portrayed in an 1880 publication or explore Magna Graecia with its vintage map showcasing tales of ancient civilizations.

Trace Bonnie Prince Charlie's wanderings through Scotland via an intricately crafted map or delve into Saint Lucia's past with a 19th-century cartographic representation. But it is not only history that finds expression within woodcut art; literature too takes center stage. Relive Samuel Taylor Coleridge's haunting tale of "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, " where an ill-fated albatross meets its tragic end at human hands. Lastly, immerse yourself in Victorian leisure by witnessing a spirited cricket match frozen in time—a testament to social customs and sporting enthusiasm during this era. Through vibrant colors and meticulous craftsmanship, these woodcuts offer windows into diverse worlds—where myth intertwines with reality and history dances alongside imagination.
