Persian Camel Artillery: Bombardiers Firing, circa 1835-1840, is a captivating handcolored lithograph from Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures. This intriguing image offers a glimpse into the military tactics of Persia during the early 19th century. In the foreground, we see a group of Persian bombardiers skillfully firing cannons from the saddles of camels. The camels, with their regal posture and adorned harnesses, appear calm and obedient despite the chaos of war. The bombardiers, dressed in traditional Persian attire, are intently focused on their task, with their hands shielding their eyes from the smoke and flames of the cannons. The Persian flag, with its distinctive design of a lion and sun, flutters in the wind, symbolizing the power and might of the Persian army. Coins and other objects can be seen scattered on the ground, possibly remnants of a recent battle or offerings to the gods for victory. This ethnographic and anthropological image provides a unique window into the customs and costumes of the Persian people during a time of great historical significance. The meticulous handcoloring adds depth and vibrancy to the print, making it a stunning addition to any collection of historical art or military history. The Persian Camel Artillery: Bombardiers Firing is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Persia and the ingenuity of its people. It serves as a reminder of the intricate relationship between technology, warfare, and tradition in the history of human civilization.
