EDITORS COMMENTS
The Sphere: A Glimpse into the Mystical World of Ancient Egypt - Special Tutankhamen Issue, 1923 This front cover of The Sphere magazine, designed by the renowned Italian artist Fortunino Matania, takes us on a journey back in time to the land of the pharaohs for its special Egypt issue in 1923. The image of The Sphere, with its intricate hieroglyphics and golden sun disk, symbolizes the ancient Egyptian culture and the mysterious allure that had long captivated the world. The cover, adorned with Matania's historical reconstructions, is a testament to the groundbreaking discoveries made in Luxor, Egypt, particularly those of the tomb of Tutankhamen. The young pharaoh's tomb, discovered by Howard Carter in 1922, had sparked worldwide fascination and ignited a renewed interest in Egyptian antiquities. Matania's design masterfully combines the essence of ancient Egypt with modern journalism, showcasing the latest news and discoveries from the excavation site. The intricate details of the hieroglyphics, the majestic depiction of the Sphinx, and the regal figure of Tutankhamen himself, all contribute to the cover's captivating allure. This stunning image not only serves as a visual representation of the rich history and culture of ancient Egypt but also as a testament to the power of art and journalism in bringing the past to life. The Sphere's special Egypt issue, with its iconic cover by Fortunino Matania, remains a significant piece of both Egyptian and journalistic history.
