EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic figure of Marco Polo, a renowned Italian merchant, explorer, and writer who lived from 1254 to 1324. The illustration was skillfully crafted by Gordon Ross, an esteemed American artist and illustrator from the late 19th to mid-20th century. Taken from "Living Biographies of Famous Men" this archival piece beautifully captures the essence of Polo's historic persona. In this pencil drawing portrait, Marco Polo is depicted as a mature man with a distinguished beard and facial hair that exude wisdom and experience. His gaze looks away or perhaps to the side, hinting at his adventurous spirit and insatiable curiosity for exploration. This image transports us back in time to the medieval era when Polo traversed unknown territories during his extensive travels through Asia. The fine art quality of this illustration adds depth and richness to its historical significance. It serves as a testament to both Ross' artistic prowess and Polo's enduring legacy as one of history's most celebrated explorers. As we observe this middle-aged man immortalized on paper, we are reminded of his contributions not only as an adventurer but also as a writer whose accounts shaped our understanding of distant lands. Ken Welsh has masterfully curated this remarkable piece that pays homage to Marco Polo's life journey while capturing our imagination with its timeless appeal.
