EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Hilary Morgan takes us back to the 8th century BC, where we witness a dramatic scene of Assyrians capturing an Ionian pirate ship. The ancient civilization of Assyria, known for its military might and strategic prowess, is seen launching a fierce attack on the Ionians who have been raiding their coast. In this historical illustration, we can feel the intensity of the moment as the Assyrians overpower and capture the Ionian pirates. The engraving beautifully captures the chaos and action of this raiding encounter. It serves as a reminder of how civilizations in ancient times had to defend themselves against marauders seeking riches along their shores. The picture transports us to a time long gone but not forgotten, shedding light on an era when piracy was rampant and coastal communities lived in constant fear. Through this archival artwork, we gain insight into both Assyrian and Ionian cultures - one representing power and dominance while the other symbolizes rebellion and adventure. Hilary Morgan's skillful composition allows us to appreciate this historical event from centuries ago. As we marvel at this stunning print, let it serve as a testament to humanity's enduring struggle for survival against external threats throughout history.
