EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting engraving depicts the tragic scene of Tullia driving over the dead body of her father, a chilling moment captured in history. The image is from a series of prints accompanied by easy lessons containing a general outline of Roman history by Mrs. Trimmer, published in 1804. The emotional weight of this illustration is palpable as we witness the ultimate betrayal and cruelty between parent and child. Tullia's actions symbolize the darker aspects of human nature, showcasing the depths to which individuals can sink when driven by ambition or malice. Set against a backdrop of ancient Rome, this engraving transports us back in time to an era filled with political intrigue and familial drama. The stark black and white contrast adds to the dramatic effect, emphasizing the gravity of the situation unfolding before our eyes. As viewers gaze upon this powerful image, they are reminded of the complexities inherent in family relationships and how even those closest to us can become our greatest adversaries. It serves as a poignant reminder that history is replete with tales of love and loss, triumphs and tragedies - all woven together in a tapestry that continues to shape our understanding of humanity.
