EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical moment of immense significance. Titled "Ms Suppl Persan 1113 f. 180-181 Mongols under the leadership of Hulagu Khan storming and capturing Baghdad in 1258" it depicts a scene from the Jami al-Tawarikh by Rashid al-Din, dating back to the 14th century. The image transports us to that fateful day on February 10th, when Hulagu Khan led his formidable army of Mongols in an assault on Baghdad. The city's walls stand tall, but they are no match for the relentless force charging towards them. With pointed helmets adorning their heads, these soldiers are determined to conquer. Baghdad was not just any city; it was the heart of the Abbasid Caliphate ruled by Al-Musta Sim at that time. Its capture would forever change history. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can almost hear the thunderous hooves of horses trampling through its streets and feel the tension in the air. The minaret rises above everything else as a symbol of resistance against this merciless siege. However, even such architectural marvels could not withstand Hulagu Khan's onslaught. This image is a testament to both destruction and power - showcasing how empires rise and fall throughout history. It serves as a reminder that even mighty civilizations can crumble under overwhelming forces. Thanks to Fine Art Finder and Bridgeman Images for preserving this
