EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 20th-century lithograph, we witness a remarkable display of bravery and strength as the protagonist fearlessly confronts the mighty octopus from The Great Sea Horse. Published in 1909, this vibrant print showcases an unforgettable scene from Young Neptune, an iconic piece of historical literature. The artist, John Elliot (1859-1925), skillfully captures the intensity of the battle between man and mythological creature. With its multilegged form looming large in the underwater depths, the great octopus poses a formidable challenge to our hero. Yet undeterred by its size and power, he stands tall with unwavering determination. This illustration transports us into a world where legends come alive beneath the waves. It serves as a reminder that courage knows no bounds when faced with seemingly insurmountable obstacles. The vivid colors employed by Elliot further enhance our immersion into this fantastical realm. As part of the Historica Graphica Collection, this lithograph holds immense historical significance. Its depiction not only celebrates human resilience but also pays homage to ancient tales that have captivated generations throughout time.
