EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print depicts the historical moment when Hannibal, the Carthaginian military commander, casts his axe over the walls of Rome during the Second Punic War in the 3rd century BC. The artwork, created by an anonymous European School artist in the 19th century, showcases Hannibal's strategic prowess and determination to conquer Rome. The image is taken from Bubbles, a children's book edited by Dr Barnardo and published in London around 1895. It beautifully captures this significant event from ancient history that continues to fascinate people today. Hannibal stands tall with his army behind him, ready for battle.
