The Assyrian Method of Irrigation (litho)
8660909 The Assyrian Method of Irrigation (litho) by Wright, Henry Charles Seppings (1850-1937); Private Collection; (add.info.: The Assyrian Method of Irrigation. The high banks of the Tigris have always hindered irrigation, and the Assyrians may well have invented the simple contrivance still in use. The water is raised in a skin ending in a funnel, through which, when at the top, it is discharged into a trough connected with the irrigation channel.

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the ancient Assyrian method of irrigation, a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of early civilizations. The scene depicts the innovative technique used by the Assyrians to overcome the challenges posed by the high banks of the Tigris River in order to irrigate their lands.
Intriguingly, this simple contrivance depicted in the print is still in use today, highlighting the enduring legacy of ancient engineering practices. A water skin with a funnel at its end is shown being used to raise water from below and discharge it into a trough connected to an irrigation channel. This efficient system allowed for controlled distribution of water essential for agriculture in arid regions.
The detailed illustration provides insight into how ancient civilizations like the Assyrians harnessed natural resources to support their agricultural endeavors. It serves as a reminder of our shared human history and showcases how innovation has always been key to overcoming environmental challenges.
This lithograph from Henry Charles Seppings Wright offers a glimpse into a bygone era while also emphasizing the timelessness of certain technological solutions. It is not just a historical artifact but also an inspiration for modern sustainable practices in agriculture and water management.
