The Boy Cyrus Playing the King, 1890
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to ancient times. The image depicts a young boy dressed in regal attire, seated on an ornate throne with his hands tied. This intriguing portrayal captures the essence of Cyrus II, also known as Cyrus the Great, who founded the Achaemenid Empire - Persia's first empire. The boy's commanding presence suggests he is playing the role of a powerful monarch, pointing and ordering his attendants around him. His youthful face betrays both innocence and wisdom beyond his years. Surrounding him are friends and companions, their loyalty evident as they stand by their sovereign even in captivity. This historic photograph was taken from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" a book by Edmund Ollier published in 1890. It offers us a glimpse into ancient Persian culture and reminds us of the enduring power of literature to transport us across time. The setting is an outdoor courtyard, possibly within Persia itself or its neighboring lands. The attention to detail in this engraving brings out every fold in the boy king's robes and captures the atmosphere of an era long gone. "The Boy Cyrus Playing the King" serves as a testament to human creativity through artistry while shedding light on one of history's most influential figures. This monochrome portrait invites contemplation on power dynamics, punishment, and sovereignty during ancient times – themes that continue to resonate today.
