EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness the meticulous work of Assyrian scribes. With utmost concentration and precision, these skilled secretaries note down the numbers of enemy dead, prisoners, and the spoils from a recent victorious battle. The artist's attention to detail allows us to immerse ourselves in this ancient scene. The image showcases the power and might of the Assyrian army as they triumph over their foes. Their victory is not only measured by the number of fallen enemies but also by the valuable spoils and treasures they have acquired. This snapshot offers a glimpse into an era when war was an integral part of life in Mesopotamia. As we delve deeper into history through this illustration, it becomes evident that the Assyrians were a dominant force in the ancient Near East. Their empire stretched across vast territories, including modern-day Iraq, Syria, and parts of Iran and Turkey. This archival photograph serves as a reminder of our rich historical heritage while shedding light on one aspect of Assyrian culture - their meticulous record-keeping practices. It is thanks to such preserved documents that we can continue unraveling stories from civilizations long gone. Ken Welsh's masterful reproduction brings this forgotten moment back to life with remarkable clarity and authenticity. Through his lens, we are granted access to an extraordinary window into our past – reminding us how vital it is to preserve our collective history for future generations.
