EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print, titled "The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World: Babylon, Iraq," is an exquisite representation of one of history's most legendary cities. Allegedly built by Nebuchadnezzar II for his wife Amyitis, who longed for her homeland, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon were a marvel of ancient engineering and horticulture. The gardens were said to have been constructed on terraces, with water from the Euphrates River used to irrigate an array of exotic plants and trees, creating a lush oasis in the desert. The intricate detail in this print, by the renowned French artist Jacques-Philippe Le Bascle, known as Picart, brings the grandeur of Babylon to life. The central focus is the magnificent palace of Nebuchadnezzar II, adorned with intricate carvings and crowned with a regal lion. The gardens themselves are a riot of color and life, with lush vegetation cascading down the terraces and a horse-drawn chariot making its way through the scene. The arrow pointing to the right of the image indicates the location of the Euphrates River, which played a crucial role in the irrigation system that made the Hanging Gardens possible. This print is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of Babylon, a city that continues to captivate the imagination of scholars and travelers alike. The Hanging Gardens, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, remain a symbol of human ingenuity and the power of nature to transform even the most inhospitable environments into verdant paradises.
