EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph titled "Croesus stands in the shadow of death" we are transported back to the 6th century BC, a time when kings and conquerors shaped history. The image depicts Croesus, the powerful king of Lydia, standing before Cyrus, the Persian conqueror who has sentenced him to death. However, it is not brute force that saves Croesus from his impending doom but rather his wisdom. As we gaze at this print, we can almost feel the weight of tension in the air as these two formidable figures face each other. Croesus appears resolute yet vulnerable as he stands in the ominous shadow cast by death itself. The artist Charles Edmund Brock masterfully captures this moment of uncertainty and imminent danger. The scene reminds us that even in times of great power and conquest, wisdom can be a saving grace. It serves as a testament to human resilience and resourcefulness against overwhelming odds. Through intricate engravings and meticulous attention to detail, Brock transports us into an ancient world where kingdoms rise and fall based on decisions made by their leaders. This lithograph is part of a private collection but was originally created for "The Picture Book" published around 1920 by Educational Book Company. Its historical significance lies not only in its portrayal of Croesus' encounter with Cyrus but also in its ability to transport viewers through time into one of humanity's most intriguing eras – an era marked by both triumphs and tragedies.
