EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Case and mummy in its cerements from Giza" takes us on a mesmerizing journey back to Ancient Egypt. Captured by Samuel Augustus Binion and published in 1887, this colour lithograph showcases the intricate artistry of Egyptian funerary practices. Plate XXVI from Binion's renowned book "Ancient Egypt" this image offers a glimpse into the solemnity and reverence surrounding death in ancient times. The mummy, carefully wrapped in ornate burial cloth, lies peacefully within its decorated case. Every detail of the shroud speaks volumes about the beliefs and customs of that era. The vibrant colours used in this lithograph bring life to an otherwise somber subject matter. The delicate patterns adorning the burial cloth reflect the Egyptians' dedication to preserving their deceased loved ones with utmost care and respect. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported to a time when death was not feared but embraced as part of an eternal journey. It serves as a poignant reminder of our own mortality while highlighting humanity's enduring fascination with ancient civilizations.
