EDITORS COMMENTS
This image brings to life the legendary Hanging Gardens of Babylon, an ancient wonder of the world that has intrigued historians and scholars for centuries. Allegedly built by King Nebuchadnezzar II around 500 BC for his wife, Amyitis, who longed for her homeland in Iraq, these magnificent gardens were said to have been grown on terraces and irrigated with water from the Euphrates River. Located in the ancient city of Babylon, the gardens were a testament to the engineering prowess and horticultural knowledge of the time. The lush, verdant foliage cascaded down the terraces, creating a breathtaking sight that would have been a welcome respite from the arid desert landscape of Mesopotamia. The exact location and historical authenticity of the Hanging Gardens remain a subject of debate among scholars, with some suggesting that they may have been a myth or an embellishment of earlier gardens. Regardless, the legend of the gardens has endured through the ages, inspiring countless works of art, literature, and imagination. This stunning print, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the beauty and mystery of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, transporting us back in time to a world of wonder and enchantment. With their intricate terraces and lush foliage, these gardens continue to captivate the imagination and inspire awe, reminding us of the rich and complex history of our world.
