EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century, titled "Conquerors driving the plough over the ruins of a captured city" depicts a powerful scene of triumph and destruction. The image showcases conquerors, presumably victorious warriors, driving a plough over the remnants of a once-thriving city. The artist's attention to detail is evident in this black and white illustration. The dilapidated state of the ruined buildings evokes a sense of desolation and decay. The engraver skillfully captures the essence of ruination, emphasizing the aftermath of conflict and conquest. The significance of this artwork lies in its connection to biblical history. It serves as an illustration for "The Land of the Bible, Its Sacred Heroes and Wonderful Story" published by Ward Lock around 1880. This engraving transports viewers to ancient times when conquering armies would assert their dominance by tilling conquered lands. Furthermore, this piece offers insight into agricultural practices during that era. The ploughman symbolizes agriculture and farming in general while highlighting its importance even amidst war-torn landscapes. Overall, this print provides a thought-provoking glimpse into both historical events and human resilience. It invites contemplation on themes such as power dynamics, destruction, rebuilding, and perseverance – all within an evocative Middle Eastern setting.
