EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the ancient city of Nimrud. The image depicts a remarkable scene - the exhumation of a winged man-headed bull, an iconic symbol of power and strength in Mesopotamian mythology. The engraving, created by the American School in the 19th century, beautifully captures the meticulous process of unearthing this magnificent artifact. Archaeologists can be seen delicately excavating around the bull's colossal body, revealing its intricate details with every brushstroke. The sheer size and grandeur of this mythical creature are awe-inspiring. The significance of this discovery is further emphasized by its inclusion as an illustration for Moses Coit Tyler's Library of Universal History. It serves as a testament to humanity's ongoing fascination with ancient civilizations and their rich cultural heritage. Thanks to digital restoration techniques, we can now appreciate this image in all its glory. Every line and contour has been meticulously cleaned, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the momentous occasion depicted here. As we gaze upon this photograph, we cannot help but marvel at both human ingenuity and our insatiable thirst for knowledge about our past. This print from Bridgeman Images is not just a work of art; it is a window into history that invites us to explore the mysteries hidden beneath layers of time.
