The Departure of Telemachus from Egypt, 1775
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by artist W Walker. This stunning print, featured in The Copper-Plate Magazine or A Monthly Treasure in London during the 18th century, transports us to ancient Greece through its depiction of Greek mythology. In this scene, we witness Telemachus bidding farewell to Egypt as he embarks on his journey back home. Standing at the quayside, surrounded by towering buildings and the vast expanse of the sea, Telemachus prepares to depart with determination etched upon his face. His departure symbolizes not only physical leaving but also an emotional departure from comfort and familiarity. The artist skillfully captures every detail - from the intricate feathers of an ostrich plume adorning Telemachus' helmet to the ropes and chains securing his vessel at the quai. Through this meticulous attention to detail, Walker brings Homer's epic poems "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey" to life. This print serves as a reminder of our human longing for adventure and exploration beyond our known horizons. It invites us to reflect on our own departures - whether they be physical journeys or metaphorical transitions in life. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported back in time while contemplating our own personal odysseys awaiting us just beyond that distant shore.
