This print takes us back in time to the ancient city of Susa, located in Khuzestan, Iran, around 1890. The view showcases the remarkable architecture and grandeur of this historic city, which once served as the administrative capital for Persian king Darius I. Susa's rich history unfolds before our eyes as we learn that it was not only conquered by Alexander the Great but also by the Mongols.
