EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "On the Summit of the Hill Stands one of the Most Delectable Palaces, 1909 (1911-1912)" transports us to a world of fantasy and imagination. Created by artist George Hood, this illustration is taken from Washington Irving's renowned book, Legends of the Alhambra. The image showcases a majestic palace perched on top of a hill amidst breathtaking mountains. The artist skillfully captures every intricate detail, from the elaborate architecture to the billowing clouds that adorn the sky. A bearded figure dressed in vibrant robes stands at the forefront, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to this enchanting scene. Hood's use of color brings life and vibrancy to this Edwardian-era artwork. The headdress or turban worn by our central character hints at an Indian influence, further enhancing its exotic appeal. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported to a distant land filled with wonder and beauty. Published in Penrose's Pictorial Annual 1911-1912 under William Gamble's editorship and AW Penrose's publication house in London during early 20th century; it represents not only artistic excellence but also reflects historical significance through its connection with Washington Irving - a prominent American author. This mesmerizing print invites us into a realm where reality meets fantasy, where palaces stand proudly atop hills as if plucked straight from our dreams. It serves as both an exquisite piece of artistry and a gateway
