EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the rich history of Mesopotamia through two ancient tablets. On the left, we are presented with Assyrian tablets dating back to the 19th or 18th century BC, depicting a contract of trade. These intricately engraved cuneiform inscriptions provide a fascinating glimpse into the commerce and economic activities of that era. The Babylonian tablets on the right side of the image offer another intriguing perspective, as they depict a contract for selling a house between the 20th and 16th century BC. The attention to detail in these tablets is truly remarkable, showcasing the skill and craftsmanship of ancient civilizations. The use of cuneiform writing adds an additional layer of intrigue, highlighting one of humanity's earliest forms of written communication. Housed within the Brieux Collection in Paris, this photograph captures these priceless artifacts from an owner's private collection in Europe. It serves as a testament to our ongoing fascination with archaeology and our desire to preserve and understand our past. Through this image, we are transported back in time to Mesopotamia—an era known for its advancements in art, architecture, and trade. It reminds us that even thousands of years ago, people engaged in complex business transactions and valued their homes just as we do today. This extraordinary piece offers not only historical significance but also serves as a reminder that human civilization has always been driven by innovation and interconnectedness across cultures.
