About the Item

Antique print Greece titled 'Bergh Cinthus'. Old print of Mount Cinthus (birth place of Apollo), Delos, Greece. This print originates from 'Nauwkeurige Beschrijving der eilanden in de in de Archipel der Middellantsche Zee' by O. Dapper. Mount Cynthus (Kýnthos) is located on the isle of Delos, part of the Greek Cyclades. In Greek mythology, Leto gave birth to Apollo and Artemis on this island, having been shunned by Zeus' wife Hera who was extremely jealous of his liaison with Leto. They respectively carry the epithets of Cynthius and Cynthia—the latter eventually becoming a female given name, still current in English-speaking and other Western countries. The byname 'Cynthia' was also applied to Selene, the moon goddess, due to her close association with Artemis. (source: wikipedia) Artists and Engravers: Olfert Dapper (c. 1635 - 1689) was a Dutch physician and writer. He wrote books about history and geography, although he never travelled outside Holland. Condition: Very good, Dutch text on verso. Small repair upper margin. Please study image carefully. Date: 1688 Overall size: 19 x 30.5 cm. Image size: 16 x 12 cm. Antique prints have long been appreciated for both their aesthetic and investment value. They were the product of engraved, etched or lithographed plates. These plates were handmade out of wood or metal, which required an incredible level of skill, patience and craftsmanship. Whether you have a house with Victorian furniture or more contemporary decor an old engraving can enhance your living space.
