EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Hannibal's Crossing of the Alps, 218 BC" takes us back to a pivotal moment in history. The audacious Carthaginian general Hannibal is depicted leading his army through the treacherous mountain terrain. It was during the Second Punic War when this daring military maneuver took place. The print showcases Hannibal's determination and strategic brilliance as he navigates his troops across the dangerous Alps. The image captures the sheer difficulty of this feat, with soldiers and elephants precariously making their way through rugged paths and icy slopes. The presence of elephants adds an awe-inspiring element to this historical scene. These majestic creatures were not only used for transportation but also served as formidable weapons on the battlefield. Through this artwork, we are transported back to a time when commanders like Hannibal pushed boundaries and defied expectations. This engraving offers a glimpse into ancient warfare tactics and highlights the resilience of both Carthaginian soldiers and their fearless leader. As we reflect on this significant event from over two millennia ago, it serves as a reminder that history is shaped by extraordinary individuals who dare to take risks in pursuit of victory.
