EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Specimens of the Hittite Inscriptions" an engraving created by an English School in the 19th century. The image is part of a private collection and was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on March 26,1887. The photograph captures a mesmerizing array of ancient artifacts and sculptures that shed light on the rich history of Anatolia, Asia Minor, and Syria. Amongst these remarkable specimens are inscribed silver bosses, lion figures, stone bowls adorned with double-headed eagles, and bas-reliefs featuring Hittite characters. These archaeological treasures were discovered in various locations such as Jerabis, Carchemish, Eyuk, Merash, Boghaz Keuï - all significant sites within Turkey's central region. They provide invaluable insights into Hittite culture and their interactions with neighboring civilizations like Babylon. The intricate cuneiform scripts found on these objects serve as a testament to the advanced writing system developed by the Hittites. Their mastery over sculpture is evident in every finely carved detail showcased in this print. As we gaze upon this visual representation of history frozen in time, we are transported to a world where art intertwines with archaeology. This print not only serves as a reminder of our shared human heritage but also highlights the importance of preserving cultural artifacts for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
