EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century, titled "Attacking walls with battering rams" takes us back to ancient times when warfare was a brutal art. The image showcases two different methods of employing these powerful siege weapons. In the foreground, we see warriors straining under the weight of a massive ram carried on their shoulders. Their determined expressions reveal their unwavering commitment to breaching enemy fortifications. However, it is the second ram that steals the spotlight - mounted on chains and swinging freely in mid-air. This ingenious design allows for greater impetus as it gains momentum before striking its target. The artist's attention to detail transports us into this historical moment, where every stroke captures the intensity of battle. The towering walls loom above, seemingly impenetrable but not invincible against these formidable battering rams. Through this print, we are reminded of mankind's relentless pursuit of conquest throughout history. It serves as a testament to our ingenuity and determination in overcoming obstacles – even those as formidable as fortified walls. As we gaze upon this engraving from 1800 by an unknown artist, we are transported back in time to witness an ancient method of warfare that shaped civilizations and altered destinies. Let us marvel at both the strength carried on shoulders and the power unleashed by chains – symbols of human resilience in our quest for dominance over imposing barriers.
