EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the era of chariot warfare, specifically depicting Assyrian warriors engaged in a fierce battle. Dating back to approximately 1300 BC, this engraving by W. Holl is based on a bas relief discovered at the ancient city of Nimrud, located in modern-day Iraq. In this striking image, we witness a medium-sized group of men solely comprised of soldiers. Positioned within their horse-drawn chariots, these skilled warriors demonstrate their expertise with bows and arrows as they aim at their enemies. The intensity of the moment is palpable as each soldier focuses on his target with unwavering determination. The scene showcases not only the military prowess but also the advanced armor worn by these ancient fighters. Clad in chainmail and armed with deadly weapons, they embody strength and resilience amidst chaos and bloodshed. As we study this historical snapshot closely, it becomes apparent that victory comes at a high cost. A fallen comrade lies lifeless on the battlefield—a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during times of war. Transporting us to an early civilization steeped in rich history and culture, this print serves as a powerful testament to human ingenuity and our enduring fascination with military strategy throughout time.
