EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black and white lithograph, titled "The Rock Tomb of Darius" takes us on a journey back in time to the early 20th century. The image showcases the majestic tomb of King Darius I, located in Persia (now Iran), as illustrated for Charles F Horne's book, "The World and its People". The lithograph beautifully captures the grandeur and mystery surrounding this ancient burial site. Set against a backdrop of towering cliffs, the tomb stands as a testament to Persian architecture and craftsmanship. Its intricate details are brought to life through delicate lines and shading. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but imagine the stories that lie within these stone walls. This was not just any tomb; it was the final resting place of one of Persia's most powerful kings.
