EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving, titled "MILTON: PARADISE LOST. The River Lethe" is a mesmerizing creation by Gustave Dore for John Milton's renowned epic poem, Paradise Lost. This print transports us into the depths of Milton's vivid imagination and brings to life one of the most haunting scenes from his literary masterpiece. In this illustration, we are confronted with a dark and foreboding landscape that perfectly captures the essence of Hell itself. The River Lethe takes center stage as its murky waters flow ominously through the scene. Its name derived from Greek mythology, Lethe represents forgetfulness and oblivion, symbolizing the loss of memory and identity. Dore's intricate details draw our attention to a fearsome dragon-like creature lurking in the background—a menacing reminder of evil forces at play within Milton's narrative. As we delve deeper into this visual representation, we encounter demons and serpents slithering amidst twisted trees—an eerie reflection of Hell's tormented inhabitants. The power behind this engraving lies not only in Dore's masterful technique but also in its ability to transport viewers into Milton's world—where good battles evil, angels fall from grace, and humanity grapples with sin and redemption. As admirers gaze upon this remarkable piece from The Granger Collection, they are reminded that literature has an unparalleled capacity to ignite our imaginations while simultaneously challenging our perceptions of morality and existence.
