EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut print takes us back to the ancient city of Pelusium during the conquest of Egypt by Cambyses II in 525 BC. The illustration vividly portrays a shocking scene as Persians on horseback hurl cats at the defenders of Pelusium. This unique depiction offers a glimpse into the unconventional tactics employed during siege warfare in ancient times. The image showcases the power dynamics and military strategies prevalent in this era, with King Cambyses leading his Persian army against the fortified walls of Pelusium. The fortress stands tall, its defenders prepared for battle, but they are taken aback by this unexpected assault using feline projectiles. As we delve deeper into history, we witness how animals were sometimes used as weapons or psychological tools in conflicts. In this case, cats were revered creatures in Egyptian culture, making their use all the more symbolic and unsettling for both sides involved. Through this artwork, we are transported to an era where kingdoms clashed and civilizations fought for dominance over vast territories. It serves as a reminder of our shared human history and provides valuable insights into ancient warfare techniques that shaped our world today. This remarkable piece invites us to explore not only the conquests of Cambyses II but also reflects upon cultural clashes between Persia and Egypt during one of history's most fascinating periods - a testament to humanity's unending quest for power and control.
