EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Death of Crassus, 1890" captures a pivotal moment in ancient Roman history. Created by an unknown artist and featured in the book "Cassells Illustrated Universal History Vol. II - Rome" by Edmund Ollier, this engraving transports us back to the 19th century. In this powerful image, we witness the tragic fate of Marcus Licinius Crassus, a prominent Roman general who met his demise during the Battle of Carrhae. The scene depicts Crassus falling from his horse after being defeated by the Parthians. The intensity of the battle is palpable as soldiers surround him while others engage in combat on horseback. The monochrome aesthetic adds to the dramatic atmosphere, emphasizing both the historical significance and artistic value of this piece. This print not only serves as a visual representation of a significant event but also highlights themes such as war, defeat, and mortality. It invites viewers to contemplate human vulnerability in times of conflict and reflect upon our own place within history. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded that even great men like Crassus are subject to their own fallibility. Through its intricate details and evocative composition, this print offers us a glimpse into ancient Rome's tumultuous past while leaving room for personal interpretation and reflection on our shared human experience.
