EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Cambyes and Psammetichs, 1890" captures a significant historical event between two powerful rulers. In this image, we see the moment when Cambyes II, the king of Anshan in the Achaemenid dynasty, defeats Psammeticus III, the last Pharaoh of the 26th Dynasty of Egypt. Taken from Edmund Ollier's book "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" this engraving transports us back to ancient times. The scene unfolds at a city gate where an armed group surrounds Psammetichus III. The defeated pharaoh stands tall but captive, his majestic presence contrasting with his captors' determined expressions. This monochrome portrait not only depicts a historic invasion but also symbolizes the clash between empires - Persia and Egypt. It serves as a reminder of Iran's influence during that era and its conquest over Mizraim (ancient Egypt). The unknown creator skillfully captures both the grandeur and tension of this encounter through their artistic interpretation. This print is not just an illustration; it represents literature brought to life through visual storytelling. As we gaze upon this image from the 19th century, we are transported into an ancient world filled with power struggles and triumphs. It reminds us of how history shapes our present reality while igniting curiosity about these fascinating civilizations that once ruled vast lands.
