EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Mr Rassams Assyrian Discoveries at Kalakh, Fac-Similes of Two of the Bronze Plates from the Great Trophy". The engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, is now part of a private collection. The image transports us back to ancient times as we witness a scene filled with historical significance. In the foreground, a soldier stands proudly with his chariot led beside him. He is surrounded by archers and eunuchs who protectively guard the royal pavilion. A shield bearer accompanies them, ensuring their safety. Intricate details are captured within this drawing; it depicts various elements such as the city of Qarqura and its centre compartment occupied by Hamathites. King Shalmaneser's presence looms large as he overlooks his empire while holding a bow. The illustration also portrays scenes from domestic operations within Assyria. We see captives being attended to while soldiers gather spoils amidst flames engulfing a conquered city. The king's apartment in Parga becomes another focal point where important decisions are made. Assyria's power and might are evident throughout this artwork, emphasizing their military prowess and conquests across Mesopotamia. Weapons play a crucial role in these endeavors, symbolizing strength and dominance. Through Mr Rassam's discoveries at Kalakh, we gain insight into ancient civilizations that once thrived in what is now modern-day Iraq. This print serves as both an archaeological treasure and a visual testament to humanity's rich history.
