EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "Thoth, Lord of Writing" takes us back to the enchanting world of ancient Egypt. Created by an English School artist in 1878, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of Thoth, the god associated with writing and wisdom. In this mesmerizing depiction, Thoth stands tall amidst a grand procession. Adorned with a majestic crown befitting his divine status, he exudes power and authority. The intricate hieroglyphs surrounding him symbolize his connection to language and communication. Atop Thoth's head rests an ibis bird—a sacred animal believed to represent wisdom and knowledge. This mythological figure is revered for its ability to guide souls through the afterlife and protect them on their journey. As we delve into this piece further, we notice a mischievous monkey perched upon Thoth's shoulder. This playful addition adds depth to the composition while hinting at Thoth's multifaceted nature as both a serious deity and a trickster figure. The lithograph technique used in this print brings out every intricate detail with precision. From Thoth's profile portrait to the delicate lines that form his regal attire, each element is meticulously rendered. Transport yourself back in time with this extraordinary artwork that celebrates not only ancient Egyptian culture but also our enduring fascination with mythology and divinity.
