EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of Dragons and bulls, glazed bricks on the Ishtar Gate in Babylon, Iraq. Constructed around 575 BC by King Nebuchadnezzar II, this magnificent gate served as the northern entrance to the inner city of Babylon. Once considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, it held great significance until being replaced on that prestigious list by the Lighthouse of Alexandria. Although a reproduction was built in the 20th century as an entrance to an unfinished museum project, this photograph captures the essence and grandeur of its original form. The Ishtar Gate's design reflects ancient Mesopotamian artistry with its vibrant colors and meticulous brickwork. The image transports us back in time to witness a mythical world where dragons and bulls come alive through these glazed bricks. Each creature symbolizes power and protection within Babylonian mythology. As we gaze upon this remarkable archaeological site, we are reminded of Babylonia's rich history and architectural prowess. While exploring this photograph taken by Vivienne Sharp, we can appreciate how it encapsulates both ancient charm and modern preservation efforts.

This print is not only a visual delight but also an invitation for us to delve into our collective pasts while marveling at mankind's ability to create enduring masterpieces like the Ishtar Gate.
