EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the historical moment when Sargon II, the powerful ruler of Assyria, triumphantly captures the Syro-Hittite city of Carchemish on the Upper Euphrates. The image showcases a pivotal event in ancient history, transporting us back to 717 BC. The scene is filled with intensity and action as Sargon II's army launches an attack on the fortified city. Soldiers armed with weapons and riding chariots can be seen storming through its gates, while civilians flee in fear. The composition beautifully captures the chaos and desperation that ensues during such conquests. As we gaze at this illustration from Hutchinsons History of the Nations, published in 1915, we are reminded of how civilizations clashed and empires rose and fell throughout time. It serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit for power and dominance. Sargon II stands tall amidst his victorious troops, symbolizing his authority as a king who expanded his empire through military might. This image not only offers insight into ancient warfare strategies but also provides a glimpse into daily life during this era. Through Ken Welsh's expert curation, this print allows us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic value. It serves as a reminder of our collective past and invites us to reflect upon the complexities of human civilization throughout time.
