1846 Deep Enchanted Enraptured Lear Loud Lyre Nonsense Sound Sweep Swept Tyre Chords
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, published in 1846, depicts a young and enchanting lady of Tyre, a historical city located in present-day Lebanon. The lady is shown in a serene setting, holding a lyre, a stringed musical instrument, and sweeping its loud chords. The sound of each sweep is said to have enraptured the deep, referring to the sea, and enchanted the city of Tyre. This scene is inspired by the popular nonsense verse, "There was a Young Lady of Tyre," which has been delighting readers for generations. The lady's youthful beauty and the mysterious allure of the lyre's music transport us back in time, inviting us to imagine the rich history and culture of Tyre. The city, once a prosperous Phoenician port, was renowned for its trading networks and artistic achievements. The image of the lady playing the lyre is a testament to the city's deep connection to music and the arts. This print, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, is a treasure from the past, offering a glimpse into the world of a bygone era. It is a reminder of the power of art and music to transport us beyond the present moment and connect us to the stories and traditions of our shared human history. The image is part of the extensive collection of historical prints available at Mary Evans Prints Online, a trusted source for high-quality, rights-managed images for use in books, publications, and other creative projects.
