EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts a grand and intricate scene of pomp and ceremony from ancient Egyptian religion, specifically in honor of the god Osiris. The bas-relief, originally discovered in Thebes, captures the solemnity and grandeur of the ritual procession. Osiris, depicted as a mummified king, is carried on a magnificent throne, surrounded by priests, musicians, and attendants. The procession moves through the streets of Thebes, with the crowd lining the route, offering homage and respect to the deity. The intricate details of the costumes and headdresses of the participants are beautifully rendered in the engraving, showcasing the rich cultural heritage and diversity of ancient Egyptian society. The use of handcolouring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing the scene to life and transporting us back in time. This engraving is from Andrea Bernieri's "Costumes Antique and Modern of All Peoples" (Il Costume Antico e Moderno di Tutti i Popoli), published in Florence in 1843 by Giulio Ferrrario. Bernieri, an Italian scholar and antiquarian, was known for his extensive research on the costumes and customs of various races, tribes, and nations, making this work an important contribution to the field of anthropology and the study of human culture and history.
