EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the ancient civilization of Assyria. The intricate engraving, created by a German School artist in the 19th century, showcases the rich history and culture of this remarkable empire. In this illustration for Bilder-Atlas, we are transported to an era where kings ruled with authority and religion played a significant role in society. The image depicts various scenes that highlight different aspects of Assyrian life - from their military might to their botanical knowledge. The mighty army is showcased with chariots, warriors, and soldiers engaged in hunting and warfare. These troops were led by powerful rulers such as Sennacherib and Shalmaneser III who sought dominance over Mesopotamia. Amidst the military prowess lies a deep connection with nature as well. The presence of trees indicates the importance of botany and scientific methods employed by the Assyrians. Cuneiform writing can be seen alongside gods like Nisroch, Dagan, Nergal, Ishtar, and Astarte at a fire altar - symbolizing their religious beliefs. This print not only captures historical moments but also serves as a reminder of how civilizations have evolved through time. It allows us to marvel at the achievements of Ancient Assyria while appreciating its contributions to fields like science and artistry.
