EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Nydia the blind girl of Pompeii" transports us back in time to ancient Italy. Created by Herbert Gustave Schmalz in 1940, this illustration is a part of The World's Library of Best Books collection. The image depicts Nydia, a young blind girl from Pompeii, who becomes the focal point of our attention. Her delicate features are beautifully captured as she stands amidst the ruins of her beloved city. Dressed in traditional attire, Nydia's costume adds an authentic touch to this historical portrayal. As we gaze at this engraving, we can't help but wonder about Nydia's story. How did she navigate through life without sight? What trials and tribulations did she face during the catastrophic eruption that buried Pompeii? Schmalz skillfully captures both the vulnerability and strength within Nydia's expression. Despite her blindness and tragic circumstances, there is a sense of resilience emanating from her posture. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring power of art to transport us across centuries. It allows us to connect with individuals like Nydia whose lives were forever altered by history's hand. Displayed on any wall or mantelpiece, this lithograph will undoubtedly spark conversations about ancient civilizations and human perseverance. Its timeless beauty makes it a valuable addition to any art enthusiast's collection.
