EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print depicts the thrilling chariot race scene from the classic novel "Ben-Hur" by General Lew Wallace. Published in the early 20th century by Sears, Roebuck and Co of Chicago, USA, this edition of the book showcases an exquisite jacket design that brings the excitement of the Roman circus to life. The chariot race, a pivotal moment in the story, is depicted in all its glory with horses and chariots in full motion, their drivers focused and determined. The backdrop of ancient Rome's grand amphitheater, filled with spectators, adds to the sense of grandeur and excitement. The novel, first published in 1880, tells the story of Judah Ben-Hur, a Jewish prince who is betrayed and sent into slavery. After years of hardship, Ben-Hur seeks revenge against his betrayer, Messala, in the famous chariot race. The race scene, filled with tension and suspense, is a memorable moment in both the novel and the various adaptations of the story for stage and screen. The intricate jacket design of this Sears, Roebuck and Co edition, with its detailed illustrations and elegant typography, serves as a fitting memorial to the enduring power of Wallace's story. The image transports us back to a time when the circus was the height of entertainment, and the thrill of the chariot race was a source of excitement and wonder for audiences around the world.
