EDITORS COMMENTS
A Timeless Tradition: The Application of Rouge in Ancient Egypt, as Depicted in Adolf Erman's 'Life in Ancient Egypt' (1924) In this illustration from Adolf Erman's seminal work, 'Life in Ancient Egypt,' we witness an Egyptian woman engaging in a beauty ritual that transcends the boundaries of time. The year is 1924, yet the scene unfolds as if transporting us back to the land of the pharaohs, some 3,000 years prior. The woman, adorned in traditional Egyptian attire, sits before a mirror, her reflection captured in its polished surface. In her hand, she holds a simple yet intriguing object - a lipstick or rouge stick. The application of such cosmetics was not merely an indulgence for the living, but a practice that extended to the deceased as well. Egyptomania, the fascination with all things Egyptian, was at its peak during the early 20th century. Scholars, artists, and the general public alike were captivated by the rich history and culture of this ancient civilization. Adolf Erman, a renowned German Egyptologist, contributed significantly to this fascination through his comprehensive study of ancient Egyptian life. The woman's lips, outlined with a bold line of crimson, serve as a testament to the importance of beauty and self-presentation in ancient Egyptian society. This illustration not only provides a glimpse into the daily life of an Egyptian woman but also sheds light on the enduring allure of Egyptian culture that continues to captivate our collective imagination.
