EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in ancient history - Alexander the Great standing triumphantly next to the lifeless body of Darius III, the last Achaemenid King of Kings of Persia. The intense emotion and drama depicted in this black and white engraving from Cassell's Universal History, published in 1888, is truly mesmerizing. Alexander III of Macedon, known as Alexander the Great, was a legendary figure who conquered vast territories and created one of the largest empires in history. His victory over Darius III solidified his reputation as a military genius and secured his place in the annals of time. Darius III, on the other hand, met a tragic end at the hands of Alexander. As the last ruler of an ancient dynasty that had ruled Persia for centuries, his defeat marked the end of an era. The details captured in this image by Ken Welsh are striking - from Alexander's commanding presence to Darius' lifeless form lying at his feet. It serves as a powerful reminder of both the glory and brutality that defined ancient warfare. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at the sheer magnitude of events that unfolded between these two great leaders. Their legacy lives on through images like these that continue to captivate our imagination centuries later.
