EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a panel from the front cover of "The Thrones and Palaces of Babylon and Nineveh from Sea to Sea: A Thousand Miles on Horseback" by John P. Newman, published in 1876. The engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, is now part of a private collection. In this intriguing image, we are transported back in time to witness a remarkable journey. The scene depicts a litter being carried by donkeys through the ancient landscapes of Babylon and Nineveh. A lone traveller sits atop the sedan chair, his portrait capturing both determination and curiosity. As we delve into the details of this photograph, we can't help but be captivated by the sense of adventure it evokes. The rugged terrain suggests that this expedition was no easy feat; yet here stands our intrepid explorer undeterred. The presence of mules alongside the donkeys adds another layer to this visual narrative - perhaps they were used for additional transportation or as pack animals during their arduous trek across vast distances. This print not only offers us a glimpse into history but also invites us to ponder upon human resilience and our insatiable thirst for discovery. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, individuals embarked on extraordinary journeys fueled by an unyielding spirit of exploration.
