EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Hannibal's Ruse to pass Fabius" takes us back in time, immersing us in the ancient world of strategic warfare. The image, a colour lithograph by Allan Stewart, depicts a pivotal moment from history that is both visually stunning and historically significant. In this scene, we witness Hannibal Barca, the brilliant Carthaginian general, devising an ingenious plan to outsmart his Roman adversary, Fabius Maximus. With torches tied to the heads of cattle, Hannibal creates an illusionary army marching towards Fabius' camp. This ruse aims to distract and deceive his enemy while he maneuvers his troops through treacherous terrain undetected. The artist masterfully captures the tension and anticipation of this critical juncture in military strategy. The vibrant colors bring life to every detail - from the flickering flames on the torches illuminating the night sky to the determined expressions on Hannibal's face as he orchestrates this daring maneuver. This particular print was originally created as an illustration for Hutchinson's History of Nations around 1915. It now resides in a private collection but has been made available for public viewing through Bridgeman Images. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of Hannibal's brilliance as a military tactician and strategist. His audacious tactics continue to captivate our imagination centuries later and serve as a testament to human ingenuity during times of conflict.
