EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph print, titled "Illustration for The Wanderings of Ulysses" transports us into the mythical world of ancient Greece. Created by E. J. Kedwards in the early 20th century, this artwork captures a pivotal moment from G. B. Harrison's book, where a woman exclaims with recognition upon seeing Ulysses. The composition is filled with tension and intrigue as Ulysses stands before her, holding his sword firmly in hand. The woman's expression reveals astonishment and realization as she utters those fateful words: "You are Ulysses!". It is evident that this encounter holds great significance within the narrative of Ulysses' epic journey. The artist skillfully employs intricate details to bring this mythological scene to life. The swords and weapons showcased throughout the illustration symbolize both power and danger, highlighting the challenges faced by Ulysses during his wanderings. The contrasting elements of femininity and masculinity are also depicted through the figures of the woman and man respectively. With its meticulous attention to detail, this lithograph invites viewers to delve deeper into Greek mythology while exploring themes of paganism, religion, and polytheism prevalent during that era. Its monochromatic palette adds a timeless quality to the artwork, emphasizing its connection to history. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to Kedwards' artistic prowess while offering an intriguing glimpse into one of literature's most enduring characters - Odysseus/Ulysses - whose adventures continue to captivate audiences even today.
