The books are:
Parrot, A. (1961). Nineveh and Babylon. London: Thames and Hudson
Parrot, A. (1960). Sumer. London: Thames and Hudson
Then, both last year and this year, I went back to the British Museum to visit the Mesopotamian and Sumerian collections and here following are some of the pictures I have taken:
If you are looking closely at my drawing, you can see how inspired I have been by their drawings, marks, incisions, mythology, history, and depictions of the world.
