When the throne room of the ancient Assyrian "Palace without Rival" was rediscovered in 1847, its sculptures remained amazingly intact. But air pollution, animal damage, vandalism, neglect, and now looting for the international art market have brought ruin to the palace. Its splendor now survives only in this book, which presents for the first time the only extensive photographic records of Sennacherib`s palace. .
