EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Enemies of the Assyrians taking refuge in ships" transports us back to ancient times and offers a glimpse into the tumultuous history of Mesopotamia. The print, plate 71 from Austen Henry Layard's renowned book "Nineveh and its Remains" showcases a relief from the Palace of Sennacherib at Nineveh. In this scene, we witness a dramatic moment as enemies seek safety by boarding ships amidst an impending conflict. The intricate details captured by the English School artist bring life to this historical event. Rowing vigorously, men navigate their vessels through choppy waters while others anxiously await their turn on land. The image not only highlights the military might of the Assyrian empire but also reveals glimpses of daily life during that era. Fish swim alongside the boats, showcasing abundant marine life in these ancient waters. Additionally, various animal engravings adorn both land and sea, reminding us of the rich wildlife present in Mesopotamia. This lithograph serves as a testament to Layard's groundbreaking archaeological discoveries and his efforts to preserve ancient history for future generations. As we gaze upon this print from our private collection today, it is awe-inspiring to imagine ourselves standing among those who witnessed these events firsthand thousands of years ago.
