EDITORS COMMENTS
This comical print, titled "Discovery of the Head of Summanus" captures a surprising moment in ancient Rome. Created by artist John Leech for "The Comic History of Rome" this satirical engraving brings humor to the religious realm. Set on the picturesque River Tiber, we witness a group of fishermen aboard their boats, engaged in their daily catch. Little do they know that their routine fishing trip is about to take an unexpected turn. As one fisherman casts his line into the water with anticipation, he reels in not just any ordinary fish but the head of Summanus himself – a Roman deity associated with thunderstorms and nocturnal lightning. The expressions on the fishermen's faces are priceless as they react to this astonishing discovery. Their surprise is matched only by our amusement at this unlikely encounter between mortal men and divine beings. The scene cleverly combines elements of history, geography, and mythology while infusing it with comic relief. Through Leech's skillful caricature style and attention to detail, we can appreciate both the artistic talent behind this print as well as its humorous concept. This image transports us back in time to ancient Rome where gods mingled among mortals in unexpected ways. As we gaze upon this amusing scene from centuries past, we are reminded that even within serious matters such as religion and tradition, there is always room for laughter and lightheartedness.
