The mighty Assyrian Empire, situated in the heart of Mesopotamia, was a force to be reckoned with. With their skilled warriors riding chariots into battle, they dominated the Eastern Mediterranean region from 750-625 BC. Vibrant and colorful lithographs bring to life the stories of this ancient empire. Zephaniah and Nahum, depicted in chromolitho prints, showcase the power and grandeur of the Assyrians. Historic illustrations transport us back in time as we witness the might of the Assyrian army on their march. The detailed artwork by Herman Vogel captures their strength and determination. Another illustration reveals Assyrian archers mounted on horseback, showcasing their mastery over various forms of warfare. This bas relief from Nimrud provides a glimpse into their military tactics. An eagle-headed deity comes to life through an artist's interpretation based on a bas-relief found at Ashurnasirpal's North West Palace in Nimrud. This illustration reminds us of the religious beliefs that shaped this empire. We are also transported to royal courts where an Assyrian king is seated on his throne attended by eunuchs and winged figures. The intricate details highlight both opulence and authority. In another scene captured by Heinrich Leutemann's artistry, we witness an Assyrian king descending the steps of his palace with his retinue in Nineveh. It offers a rare glimpse into daily life during this era. However, not all aspects were noble or glorious; illustrated scenes depict brutalities inflicted upon prisoners under orders from an Assyrian king. These haunting images serve as a reminder that power often came at great cost. Finally, we see an image capturing an Assyrian king traveling across vast lands - a testament to their expansive reach and influence beyond borders. One cannot forget one significant event: The Battle of Carchemish portrayed vividly in Cassells Universal History publication from 1888.
