EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, taken from Reverend Isaac Taylor's Scenes in Europe, published in London in 1819, offers a glimpse into the historical views of Poland and other European locales. The first image showcases Polish men in the city of Cracow, dressed in traditional attire and walking along the cobblestone streets. The second scene transports us to a fascinating discovery: the story of Peter the Wild Boy, who was found living in a forest near Hamelin. The third image reveals the inflammable springs near Cracow, a natural wonder that continues to intrigue and fascinate visitors. Moving northward, the print takes us to the Arctic region, where we find whalers braving the icy waters and harpooning whales. The sailors, bundled up against the cold, walk on the frozen sea, their determined expressions reflecting the harsh realities of their environment. The print then transports us to Iceland, where we witness the awe-inspiring Hecla and Hekla volcanoes, their smoky peaks rising against the sky. Nearby, geysers erupt, sending plumes of steam into the air. The print concludes with images of floe ice, icebergs, and the rugged coastline, offering a breathtaking view of this remote and mysterious land. Handcoloured copperplate engravings, such as these, were popular in children's books during the Regency and Georgian eras, providing education and amusement for young readers. Today, they offer us a unique window into the past, allowing us to explore historical views of Poland and other European locales in vivid detail.
