EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 16th century, where imagination and folklore intertwined to create a world of strange tribes from the wilds of the Earth. The woodcut print, originally featured in The Strand Magazine in 1897, showcases an array of mythical beings that both intrigue and bewilder. From left to right, we encounter a Monopodi - a creature with only one leg and foot; followed by a Monoculi Cyclopean - an individual with a single eye; then a two-headed dwarf who defies conventional norms; next is someone peculiarly lacking a head but instead possessing merely a face on their chest; finally, we are introduced to a member of the Cynocephali or Dog Headed People. These fantastical figures emerge from ancient tales and legends passed down through generations. They embody the rich tapestry of myths and yarns spun by travellers across time. Each character carries its own unique story within this intricate illustration. As we gaze upon this image, our minds wander into realms where anything seems possible. It serves as a reminder that human creativity knows no bounds when it comes to inventing extraordinary creatures beyond our wildest dreams. Ken Welsh's skillful reproduction allows us to appreciate not only the artistry behind this piece but also its historical significance. This print transports us back centuries ago when these strange tribes fascinated people's imaginations and sparked curiosity about what lies beyond our known world.
