EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Cyrus and Croesus" takes us back to ancient times, immersing us in a pivotal moment of history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the artistic prowess of that era. The scene depicts a significant encounter between two legendary figures - Cyrus and Croesus. Intriguingly, this artwork is part of Cassells Illustrated Universal History by Edward Ollier, published in 1890. The image has been digitally cleaned to preserve its original charm and detail for modern audiences to appreciate. The composition skillfully captures the tension and drama surrounding Cyrus and Croesus' meeting. Both men are portrayed with regal poise, their expressions reflecting their contrasting emotions - determination on Cyrus' face as he confronts his adversary, while Croesus appears contemplative yet apprehensive about his fate. As we delve into history's annals, we discover that Cyrus was the founder of the Persian Empire while Croesus reigned as king of Lydia. Their encounter holds immense significance as it marked a turning point not only for these rulers but also for their respective empires. Through this mesmerizing print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back in time to witness this crucial historical event firsthand. It serves as a reminder of how art can immortalize moments that have shaped our world today.
