EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artifact known as "The forlorn scholar". The image captures a letter, written in the 7th century BC by Urad-Gula, the chief scribe, addressed to King Ashurbanipal. This ancient tablet is filled with disappointment and longing. The color of the stone tablet adds an intriguing touch to this historical piece. Its faded hues tell a story of time gone by, while its text reveals the emotions of a scholar who feels let down. The concept behind this artifact resonates even in our modern world - that feeling of being disappointed and unheard. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back centuries ago when Urad-Gula penned his petition. We can almost feel his frustration and yearning for recognition from his king. It serves as a reminder that human emotions transcend time and place. Credit goes to CM Dixon for capturing this remarkable object with such precision and detail. Through their lens, they have immortalized not only an archaeological treasure but also an emotional journey etched into stone. Let us cherish these artifacts as windows into our shared pasts, reminding us that disappointments have always been part of the human experience - no matter what century we find ourselves in.
