EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Third Side of Obelisk" from the renowned collection of Monuments of Nineveh, dating back to 1858. Engraved by Austen Henry Layard, this illustration is a true testament to the rich history and archaeological discoveries made in Mesopotamia. The image depicts a scene filled with intricate details, featuring a chariot pulled by wild animals amidst an array of relief vases. The discovery of this ancient monument sheds light on the sophisticated craftsmanship and stylized artistry prevalent during Assyrian times. The study-like drawing allows us to delve into the past as we observe camels, lions, deer, and other ungulates intricately carved onto the obelisk's tapered surface. The presence of wine skins and carts adds further intrigue to this archaeological marvel. With its high bas-relief depicting kings, vizirs, and even Bactrian vases, this print offers viewers a glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten. Each element within the composition tells its own story - from the meticulously detailed animal figures to the carefully crafted boots worn by human figures.
