EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "Pursuing Fugitives across the Chabur," depicts a scene from ancient Assyria under Tukulti-Ninib II's reign. After a period of weakness, Assyria's fortunes began to turn around as the king led campaigns into Northern Babylonia and Eastern Mesopotamia. In this illustration, we see Assyrian archers shooting at fugitives attempting to swim across the Chabur river to reach their fortress on the other side. The intensity of the moment is palpable as arrows fly through the air and desperate individuals struggle in the water. The artist, Fred Roe, captures the chaos and violence of war with striking detail and precision. This image is not just a historical representation but also a reminder of human conflict throughout time. It serves as a window into a distant past where power struggles and conquests shaped civilizations. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness an important chapter in Assyrian history. The bravery of soldiers, the desperation of fugitives, and the relentless pursuit across treacherous waters all come together in this powerful artwork that continues to captivate viewers even today.
