This lithograph, titled "The treasures of Rhampsinit" takes us back to the ancient legend of a fictitious king from Ancient Egypt. Published in 1865, this engraved image beautifully captures the essence of this mythical tale. Rhampsinit, known as the predecessor of the legendary king Kheops, is depicted here as a powerful pharaoh surrounded by his vast treasures. The intricate details and fine etching bring to life the opulence and grandeur associated with ancient civilizations. One particular story linked to Rhampsinit unfolds within these treasure-laden walls. It tells of two audacious thieves who dare to rob from the king's wealth until tragedy strikes one of them. In an attempt to save his fallen brother's body, the surviving thief cunningly deceives Rhampsinit himself, skillfully evading arrest.
