EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment when Hannibal, the brilliant Carthaginian general, led his army over the treacherous Alps and into Italy during the Second Punic War in 218 BC. Published in Cassells Illustrated Universal History in 1883, this archival engraving provides a glimpse into a pivotal event that shaped ancient warfare. In this illustration, we witness Hannibal's determination as he guides his troops through the rugged mountain pass. The soldiers march resolutely despite facing numerous challenges along their perilous journey. Falling rocks serve as a constant reminder of nature's hostility, yet they fail to deter these brave warriors from their mission. The image transports us back to an era of intense conflict and strategic brilliance. It reminds us of Hannibal's audacious plan to attack Rome by crossing one of Europe's most formidable natural barriers – the Alps. This daring feat demonstrated his military genius and highlighted his unwavering commitment to victory. As we gaze upon this vintage picture, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who fought in ancient wars. It serves as a testament to human resilience and perseverance against seemingly insurmountable odds. Ken Welsh has masterfully captured this historical moment with precision and attention to detail. Through his artistry, he allows us to relive an important chapter in our collective past while honoring those who participated in it.
