EDITORS COMMENTS
This litho print titled "Over the Alps to the gates of Rome" takes us back in time to one of history's most audacious military expeditions. Depicting Hannibal's crossing of the Alps in 218 BC, this artwork showcases the sheer determination and strategic brilliance of the Carthaginian general. The image transports us to a rugged mountainous landscape as Hannibal leads his army, accompanied by majestic elephants, through treacherous terrain towards their ultimate destination - Rome. The soldiers march on with unwavering resolve, ready for combat at any moment. This scene captures both the grandeur and danger of warfare during ancient times. Created by Charles Mills Sheldon in collaboration with The Picture Book Educational Company circa 1920, this engraving offers a glimpse into an epic chapter from Punic Wars history. It serves as a testament to human audacity and ambition as well as an enduring symbol of courage and perseverance. As we admire this historical masterpiece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded that even centuries later, tales like these continue to inspire awe and admiration for those who dared to defy all odds.
