The Burning of Lagash (colour litho)

Image description: The Burning of Lagash. In the reign of the ill-fated reformer, Urukagina, Lagash was attacked by her hereditary foes, the men of the neighbouring city of Umma, who massacred the inhabitants, sacked and burnt the city, and set even the temples of the gods on fire. Through the reforms, by which Urukagina had succeeded in stamping out corruption among his officials, the state had been disorganised and the army weakened - hence the city fell an easy prey to her enemies. Illustration for Hutchinson's History of the Nations (Hutchinson, c.1920).
