EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Charles William Wyllie takes us on a visual journey to the picturesque Ionian Islands. The print, dating back to 1892, showcases the enchanting beauty of this Greek archipelago. As we gaze upon it, we are transported to a time when these islands were still relatively undiscovered gems. The image captures the essence of an autumn cruise through the Ionian Sea. The calm waters reflect the vibrant hues of nature's changing palette, creating a mesmerizing scene that is both serene and invigorating. Our eyes are drawn towards sea mills dotting the coastline, their sails gently turning in harmony with the breeze. Intriguing landmarks pepper this topographical wonderland; from afar, we can spot the imposing Castle of St George in Cephalonia and Corfu's ruined town adorned with ancient stones. These remnants serve as reminders of Greece's rich history and mythical tales associated with Ulysses' legendary castle. As our imagination wanders through this idyllic setting, we cannot help but be captivated by Fortezza Vecchia in Zante—a fortress that stands proudly against time's relentless march. Its sturdy walls bear witness to centuries gone by and evoke a sense of awe for those who venture near. Bridgeman Images has immortalized this masterpiece from Wyllie's collection—allowing us to appreciate its timeless charm today. This print serves as an invitation for all art enthusiasts to delve into Greece's past while simultaneously
