EDITORS COMMENTS
In this comical print, titled "Tarquinius Superbus has the Sibylline Books valued" artist John Leech takes us back to ancient Rome. The scene depicts King Tarquinius Superbus, also known as Tarquin the Proud, surrounded by a group of men in a royal setting. As the last monarch of Rome in the 6th century BC, Tarquinius is portrayed with exaggerated features and a humorous demeanor. The focal point of the artwork is the valuation of the Sibylline Books, which were considered sacred texts containing prophecies for Rome's future. With great anticipation and curiosity, Tarquinius observes as an expert examines these valuable books. The cartoonish style adds a touch of satire to this historical moment. John Leech's caricature captures not only the essence of Roman mythology but also provides commentary on royalty and power dynamics during that era. Through his skillful engraving technique, he creates an amusing visual narrative that invites viewers to reflect on history with a lighthearted perspective. This print from 1852 offers us a glimpse into ancient Rome while showcasing Leech's artistic talent and wit. It serves as both an educational tool for understanding Roman culture and an entertaining piece that brings laughter to those who appreciate its comical nature.
