EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard print takes us back in time to the ancient city of Rome, circa 1910. The vibrant colours and intricate details bring to life a scene from one of history's most dramatic eras - the persecution of Christians during the reign of Emperor Nero. In this illustration by A. del Senno, we witness a chilling moment in the Roman arena where Christian martyrs face their ultimate test of faith. Surrounded by a sea of eager spectators, these brave individuals stand strong against religious intolerance and oppression. The artist's skillful use of colour lithography transports us into the heart of this grand amphitheatre, where every emotion is palpable. We can almost hear the roar of the crowd as they await an encounter with ferocious lions that symbolize both fear and power. It is believed that this postcard may have been inspired by Henryk Sienkiewicz's renowned novel "Quo Vadis" which vividly depicts the plight faced by early Christians under Nero's tyrannical rule. As we gaze upon this historical treasure, let it serve as a reminder not only of past struggles but also as an inspiration for resilience and unwavering belief in times when our own faith may be tested.
