Wood Engraving Wednesday
Barry Moser
Here we present some of the 24 original wood engravings by illustrator, book designer, and fine-press publisher Barry Moser (b. 1940) for the 1981 Limited Editions Club production of Homer's Odyssey, designed by Moser and printed in an edition of 2000 signed copies by the legendary master printer Harold McGrath at the Hampshire Typothetae in West Hatfield, Massachusetts (co-founded by Moser and McGrath in 1977).
The creation of these engravings was a four-year endeavor for Moser. He studied the arms and armor of the Ancient Greeks, made notes on Hellenic representations of animals, rituals, and people, and studied black- and red-figured vases in visits to museums in London, Boston, and New York. He writes that "My initial impulse was to parallel the frontality of the story with frontal images: men and monsters, gods and demigods, tinted with historically accurate paraphernalia and costume, sharply and closely focused." But other influences over those years of study . . .
pushed me away from the narrow initial impulses and stretched my imagination toward a broader, more catholic emphasis. I came to depend less on the local interest of costume and artifact, and to concentrate on human tenderness and violence, on simile and metaphor, on landscape and faces. I chose to see Homer's characters close-up. Not their actions or figures, but their faces -- the faces of Everyman. . . . contemporary man, anonymous man, ordinary man in his quest for self, in his quest for home.

Ancient Roman Snack Shop Excavated
Archaeologists have finished excavating a snack bar, or thermopolium, in the Regio V section of northeastern Pompeii. When the city was destroyed by Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE it was a thriving ancient Roman community which meant there were bakeries, laundries, brothels – and snack shops. About 80 thermopoliums are thought to have fed the residents of ancient Pompeii.
The recently-excavated thermopolium was a well-decorated snack shop. Frescoes excavated include depictions of a Nereid riding a seahorse, gladiators in combat, ducks, and a rooster. An image of a dog on a leash may refer to the owner’s guard dog, as a complete dog skeleton was found in the doorway. Fragments of bone found in pots in the shop’s counter indicate that pork, fish, snails, and beef were on the menu.
Unfortunately a man in his 50s was in bed at the time of the eruption, judging by the human remains found as well.
This Is The World's Largest Sarcophagus
The Sidamara Sarcophagus, made in the 200s CE, is the heaviest sarcophagus in the world at 32 tons. The name is not from its occupant, but the town in Turkey where it was found.
