Griffin c. 18th century

Editor: Here we have an anonymous print called "Griffin." The lines are so sharp, making the creature seem both powerful and…a little bit anxious, maybe? What stories do you think this griffin holds? Curator: Ah, an excellent question! I see a longing for freedom in those outstretched claws, a yearning to escape the confines of the page. The griffin, often a guardian of treasures, seems to be questioning what it truly values, perhaps hinting at a deeper, internal quest. What do you think? Editor: That's a really interesting perspective, makes you wonder what treasure it's protecting, or maybe trying to find? Curator: Exactly!
