EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 8th century BC, showcasing Sargon's Palace in Khorsabad. The South-Eastern Gate is beautifully depicted by artist Alexander Francis Lydon in this 19th-century imagining of Dur-Sharrukin, the Assyrian capital built by King Sargon II. The image transports us to a time when ancient civilizations thrived, revealing the architectural grandeur of this fortified city. The monochrome tones add a sense of mystery and timelessness to the scene as we gaze upon the intricate details of the palace entrance and towering walls. Sitting proudly amidst an expansive landscape, Sargon's Palace stands as a testament to Assyria's power and influence during its heyday. This engraving captures not only the physical structure but also evokes our curiosity about life within those walls centuries ago. As we explore every corner of this print, we can almost imagine ourselves walking through these gates into a bustling city filled with vibrant markets, majestic temples, and royal chambers. It serves as a reminder that history has shaped our present world and offers us glimpses into cultures long gone. Preserved for generations to come thanks to The Magazine of Art from Cassell & Company in London (1886), this print allows us to appreciate both Alexander Francis Lydon's artistic talent and his dedication to capturing historical moments. Let it inspire you with its timeless beauty while reminding you of humanity's enduring quest for greatness.
