EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Nineveh Restored" takes us back in time to the ancient city of Nineveh, located in Mesopotamia. The illustration, taken from Hutchinson's History of the Nations, showcases the remarkable restoration efforts led by Sennacherib during his reign from 704-681 BC. In this scene, we witness the bustling daily life within Nineveh's fortified walls. The city is depicted as a thriving metropolis with new streets and squares meticulously laid out by Sennacherib himself. The grandeur of his palace stands proudly without any rival, a testament to his vision and ambition. The image captures the essence of Mesopotamian civilization at its peak. We see people going about their daily routines along the riverbank of the mighty Tigris River, which served as a lifeline for trade and transportation. The meticulous engraving beautifully portrays every intricate detail of this ancient cityscape. From its towering walls to its bustling markets, it offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten. As we admire this historical masterpiece captured by Austen Henry Layard and preserved in private collection, let us marvel at the ingenuity and resilience displayed by our ancestors in creating such magnificent civilizations. This artwork serves as a reminder that history continues to inspire and educate us even centuries later.
