EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing the remarkable excavations undertaken by Paul-Emile Botta, the French consul in Nineveh. The print captures a significant moment in history as Botta unearths ancient treasures at the site of Khorsabad (Khunsabad), once a thriving Assyrian capital located north of Mosul, Iraq. The image transports us to a time when archaeology was still in its infancy, with Botta leading the way in uncovering remnants of an ancient civilization. His groundbreaking work sheds light on the rich cultural heritage of this region and offers invaluable insights into our collective past. The artist behind this engraving remains unknown, but their skillful rendering brings life to every detail. From the meticulous depiction of excavation tools to the sense of anticipation on Botta's face, we are drawn into this archaeological adventure that unfolds before our eyes. As we gaze upon this print from a private collection, we can't help but marvel at how far we have come since those early days of exploration. Today, thanks to pioneers like Botta and countless others who followed in his footsteps, our understanding of ancient civilizations continues to deepen. This engraving serves as both a testament to human curiosity and an invitation for us all to embark on our own journeys of discovery – whether through exploring history or unraveling mysteries yet untold.
