In this beautifully produced book Paul Collins sets out to provide a succinct picture of the art of Assyrian reliefs. This is not an easy task. The subject material is vast, with an accompanying literature to match. Nevertheless it can be said that Collins has succeeded in this task and produced a work which gives a representative survey of the material at hand in terms of both subject range and chronological development, while at the same time paying due attention to the theoretical discussions which underpin it.
