ASSYRIA
The following pictures are from Layard's book
Babylon and Ninevah, Second Expedition. Since the copyright
(1853) has expired on this important work and we have a copy in very good
condition, we are trying to preserve the images electronically. If possible
we will include the page on which the "engraving" is found and Layard's
caption.
