EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from the 19th century transports us back in time to one of the most legendary wonders of the ancient world - the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

The image showcases a stunning statue amidst lush greenery, surrounded by an enchanting fountain. It is a testament to human ingenuity and artistic prowess, as it depicts the architectural brilliance that was characteristic of Babylonian civilization. The carefully crafted buildings in the background further emphasize the opulence and sophistication that defined these gardens. Known as one of the Seven Wonders of the World, these gardens were said to have been built by King Nebuchadnezzar II for his queen who longed for her homeland's natural beauty. Rising high above ground level on terraces supported by stone columns, they were a true marvel - an oasis suspended in mid-air. Through this wood engraving, we are transported into a world where nature intertwines with human creation seamlessly. It serves as a reminder of our collective fascination with creating harmonious spaces that blend architecture and horticulture effortlessly.
