EDITORS COMMENTS
In this hand-colored halftone reproduction, we are transported back to the year 331 BC, witnessing a pivotal moment in history. The image depicts Alexander's army as they prepare to unleash destruction upon Persepolis, the majestic capital of Persia. It is Thais who suggests that the city be burned to the ground, igniting controversy and debate among those gathered. This vintage print exudes a sense of heritage and ancient tradition, reminding us of the rich history that unfolded in these lands. The Greek illustration showcases an array of soldiers donning their armor, readying themselves for battle against formidable Persian warriors. The scene evokes a mix of emotions - awe at the might and determination displayed by Alexander's forces, curiosity about what led them to embark on this conquest, and reflection on the consequences such actions had on civilizations past. As we delve into this snapshot from antiquity, we cannot help but marvel at how it encapsulates both victory and loss within its frame. It serves as a reminder of Alexander III's audacious ambition and his profound impact on shaping ancient history. Let us celebrate this glimpse into classical civilization with reverence for all those who fought bravely during these turbulent times. May it inspire us to explore further into our collective human story while appreciating the intricate tapestry woven by cultures long gone.
