EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic meeting between Psamtik III and Cambyses, two powerful figures who shaped the fate of ancient Egypt. Psamtik III, also known as Psammetichus, was the last Pharaoh of the Twenty-sixth Dynasty. His reign was short-lived, lasting only six months before being invaded by King Cambyses II of Persia. In this moment frozen in time, we witness the convergence of these two rulers amidst a backdrop of political turmoil. The intensity is palpable as they engage in a crucial discussion that would determine the future course of their respective kingdoms. Psamtik's defeat at the Battle of Pelusium in 525 BC forced him to seek refuge in Memphis where he ultimately met his capture. This image serves as a poignant reminder of his valiant struggle against overwhelming odds and his ultimate downfall. The engraving adds an air of authenticity to this archival piece from Cassells Universal History published in 1888. It transports us back to an era when ancient civilizations clashed on grand scales, leaving indelible imprints on history. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported into a world long gone but forever preserved through Ken Welsh's lens. It reminds us that even great rulers are subject to forces beyond their control and that no empire can withstand the test of time indefinitely.
