EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Nebuchadnezzar in the Hanging Gardens of Babylon" takes us back to the ancient world, capturing a moment of grandeur and beauty. Created by artist Ernest Wellcousins in 1915, this illustration brings to life one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The Hanging Gardens were an extraordinary creation built around 600 BC by Nebuchadnezzar II, a powerful ruler who sought to please his homesick wife, Amytis of Media. These lush gardens stood as a testament to their love and devotion amidst the arid landscape of Mesopotamia. In this lithograph, we see Nebuchadnezzar himself standing proudly among the vibrant flora and cascading waterfalls that adorned these magnificent terraces. His regal presence exudes power and authority as he gazes upon his creation with awe. The image is taken from Donald Alexander Mackenzie's book "Myths of Babylonia and Assyria" published in 1915. It offers us a glimpse into the rich mythology and legends surrounding this legendary king and his mythical gardens. As we admire this historical artwork, it serves as a reminder not only of human ingenuity but also our innate desire for beauty and connection with nature. The Hanging Gardens continue to inspire wonder even centuries later, reminding us that great feats can be achieved through love, dedication, and imagination.
