EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "View of the mounds of Kouyunjik [Quyunjik] and Nebbi Yunus" takes us back to Mosul in 1853. The print, created by Austen Henry Layard, offers a glimpse into the ancient city of Nineveh, now known as the mounds of Kuyunjik and Nebi Yunus. As we gaze upon this scene, our eyes are drawn to the towering mounds that dominate the landscape. These remnants of exterior walls stand as silent witnesses to a rich history that unfolded thousands of years ago. It is here where King Sennacherib of Assyria once ruled during his reign from 705-681 BC. The significance deepens as we learn that it was Sennacherib's grandson, Ashurbanipal, who built an extraordinary library within these very walls. This library became a treasure trove for scholars and historians alike, housing countless texts and artifacts from Mesopotamian civilization. Through Layard's skilled hand, we are transported back in time to witness not only the grandeur but also the archaeological wonders hidden within these ruins. The intricate illustrations bring life to this ancient world - its people bustling through streets long forgotten and stories waiting to be discovered beneath layers of dust. This lithograph serves as a testament to both Layard's artistic talent and his dedication to preserving history through his work. It invites us on a journey through time while reminding us of the enduring power held within these ancient lands.
