EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, titled "Little one, may you prove like your sire in all but fortune" we are transported back to the era of heroes and legends. The image, captured by Herbert Cole in 1932, depicts a scene from Greek mythology during the Trojan War. The composition is filled with an array of characters dressed in elaborate costumes that instantly transport us to ancient Greece. Among them are goddesses, warriors, and even a baby nestled in the arms of Tecmessa. The attention to detail is remarkable as each figure exudes strength and power through their carefully crafted poses. The title itself holds a poignant message - it speaks of passing down qualities from one generation to another while acknowledging the unpredictable nature of fate. It suggests that although fortune may not always favor us, we can still strive to embody the admirable traits displayed by our ancestors. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we cannot help but be drawn into the world created by Homer's epic tales. We imagine ourselves standing alongside Nestor and Ajax on the battlefields of Troy or witnessing divine interventions orchestrated by powerful gods. This print serves as a reminder that art has an extraordinary ability to transcend time and space; it allows us to connect with stories passed down through generations. It invites us to reflect on our own heritage while inspiring future generations to embrace courage and resilience despite life's uncertainties.
