Framed Print of Homeric Table (The Shield of Achilles) - designed by John Henning Junior Esq... 1850. Creator: Unknown
Homeric Table (The Shield of Achilles) - designed by John Henning Junior Esq. for the Gallery of the Right Hon. Lord Northwick, 1850. This exquisite work...will shortly be deposited in his Lordship's Gallery, at Thirlestane House, Cheltenham. The design of the sculptor, in the portion of the Table here engraved, is to illustrate Homer's description of the Shield of Achilles (Vide Pope's Translation of the Iliad'...). This circular top is four feet in diameter, and is supported by a palm-tree springing from a tripod base, on which are grouped figures of Achilles, Briseis, Thetis, and a Triton, attended by genii upon the backs of dolphins...beautifully executed in carton-pierre, of the new white of zinc, portions...being relieved with gold, as is also the encircling framework of the Table'. From Illustrated London News, 1850. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector/Heritage Images
