The Battle of Michmash, 1890 - A Glimpse into Ancient Warfare
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back in time to the historic Battle of Michmash, which occurred in c1025 BC. The image depicts a scene from this biblical clash between the Israelites, led by Jonathan, son of King Saul, and the Philistines. Despite being heavily outnumbered, the Israelites valiantly fought armed with pickaxes as their weapon of choice. The print is an engraving featured in "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" a renowned book by Edmund Ollier published in 1890. It offers a fascinating glimpse into early Greek history and showcases various geographical features such as hillsides where battles were waged. In this particular illustration, we witness the intensity and bravery displayed by these ancient warriors on a hillside near Jerusalem. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to the portrait-like depiction of men engaged in combat with swords clashing against their adversaries. As we admire this piece from Heritage Images collection, it serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring spirit throughout history. This battle holds significance not only for its military aspects but also for its religious implications mentioned in the Old Testament. Through this photo print, we are transported back to an era when warfare was fought with different tools and strategies than those employed today. It stands as a testament to our shared heritage and reminds us that even when faced with overwhelming odds, courage can prevail against all odds.
