EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print transports us back in time to the ancient civilization of Iraq during the mid to late 19th century. The image showcases a diverse collection of artifacts and reliefs, offering a glimpse into the rich history of this region. Among the many treasures depicted, we see remnants from the major archaeological sites of Kalhu (Tell Nimrud) and Nineveh (Tell Kuyunjik). At Kalhu, the impressive remains of a chariot and its captive are displayed, a testament to the military might of the Assyrian Empire. The intricately carved reliefs on the chariot and its decorative elements reflect the artistic prowess of the ancient civilization. From Nineveh, the print features a magnificent relief of Sennacherib, the powerful Assyrian king, and his royal procession. The relief, once part of the grand palace walls, showcases the king in his regal attire, surrounded by his courtiers and soldiers. Other artifacts in the photograph include an alabaster vase from the palace of Sherghat, adorned with elegant floral designs, and various other reliefs, both in situ and alone, that depict scenes from mythology, daily life, and warfare. This photograph print serves as a reminder of the incredible discoveries made during the 19th century, which brought to light the ancient history and culture of Iraq. It is a testament to the enduring allure of archaeology and the stories that lie buried beneath the sands of time.
