EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Andrea Bernieri in 1847, showcases a scene of Persian soldiers from the Achaemenid Empire, gathered around cattle and wagons at the ancient site of Persepolis. The ceremonial capital of the Persian Empire, Persepolis is renowned for its impressive stone bas-reliefs, which provide a wealth of historical and cultural information. In this image, the Persian soldiers are depicted carrying a variety of weapons, including spears and shields, as they lead goats, bulls, and horses. The soldiers' attire, with their tunic-like garments and head coverings, adds to the authenticity of the scene. The presence of wagons and cattle suggests that this may be a scene from a military campaign or a religious procession. The backdrop to this scene is the magnificent Temple of Belus at Baalbek, located in the Beqaa Valley of present-day Lebanon. Baalbek was an important religious and cultural center during the Roman Empire, and the temple is a testament to the grandeur and power of the ancient civilizations that once thrived in the region. The intricate details of this engraving, taken from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," provide a glimpse into the historical fashion and daily life of the ancient Persian people. The image also highlights the rich architectural heritage of the region, with the ruins of Persepolis and the Temple of Belus serving as enduring symbols of the past.
