Phrygians crossing the Bosphorus from Europe into Asia (litho)
8660851 Phrygians crossing the Bosphorus from Europe into Asia (litho) by Rowlandson, George Derville (1861-1930) (after); Private Collection; (add.info.: Phrygians crossing the Bosphorus from Europe into Asia. The Phrygians were a group of Indo-European tribes, akin to the inhabitants of Thrace, from which region they crossed the Bosphorus into Asia Minor at an early period. The racial movement, of which their migration formed a part, may well have had some share in putting an end to the Hittite domination of Anatolia. They possessed a knowledge of iron, but on their first settlement in Asia were in a semi-barbaric state of culture. Illustration for Hutchinson's History of the Nations (Hutchinson, c.1920).

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning lithograph captures the historic moment of Phrygians crossing the Bosphorus from Europe into Asia. The Phrygians, a group of Indo-European tribes, made this migration at an early period, bringing with them their knowledge of iron but still in a semi-barbaric state of culture. This movement may have played a role in ending Hittite domination in Anatolia.
The image depicts the Phrygians on their journey across the iconic Bosphorus strait, symbolizing the cultural and racial exchanges that shaped ancient civilizations. The scene is filled with a sense of adventure and exploration as these early settlers forge new paths and connections between continents.
