EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the ancient city of Rhodes during the tumultuous period of 305-304 BC. The image depicts the intense Siege of Rhodes led by Demetrius Poliorcetes, a significant event in Greek history. Published in 1888 as part of Cassells Universal History, this archival engraving beautifully captures the essence of warfare and conflict. Intricately detailed, we see a fortified walled city with soldiers standing tall on battlements ready to defend their homeland. A massive siege tower looms ominously in the background, symbolizing the power and determination of Demetrius' army. This vintage illustration transports us to an era where battles were fought with bravery and strategic prowess. The historical significance of this picture cannot be overstated; it serves as a reminder of Greece's rich past and its countless wars fought for supremacy among rival factions. It showcases not only the strength and resilience of soldiers but also highlights the importance placed on fortresses for defense. Ken Welsh's expert craftsmanship brings this scene to life, allowing us to witness firsthand one pivotal moment from ancient Greece. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are reminded that history is not just words on a page but rather a living tapestry woven by those who came before us.
