Treasures from THE CLASSICS COLLECTION at The Willing Mind.  By exclusive arrangement with The Grand Review.

Print size 18 x 24, and consciously formatted to work with a standard size store bought frame, or custom framed as you see fit.

From a series of original copperplate engravings by Johann Wilhelm Baur for a 1641 edition of the Ovidii Metamorphosis. Originally showing classical Latin, ecclesiastic Latin and Old German text below the image, here we present the classical Latin version.  In the German and German-American section of The Grand Review, you'll find a full set of these with the beautiful Olde German lettering.  We would like to thank one of my son's favorite teachers, Magistra Margaret Roberts from Friends' Central School, for her translation from classical Latin to English. We are in her debt (and man, oh man, was the experience fun!).

The companions of Ulysses changed into pigs by Circe. 

One of a number of Ulysses companions thus transformed by Circe for their bad, piggish behavior.  Good of the artist to let us see a little of the individual action, rather than a group zapping!

All prints are shipped in a sturdy mailing tube for $8, which covers postage, tube and S & H.  Add a second print or any number thereafter and shipping is $11 rather than $8.  International shipping is available and reasonable.  Please contact us for details.

A note on the quality of the graphic craftsmanship that went into these prints.  Every print we deem strong enough to present to the public via our Etsy store or available here at our studio in Ardmore has gone through a meticulous digital restoration before we format it to become a large scale decorative art print.  That includes repairing damage present in the originals, but allows us to make ongoing aesthetic choices as to what imperfections to clean up and which ones to consciously leave in place.  We make every effort to ensure our customers are not just satisfied but thrilled, and we happily stand 100% behind our work.
