The captivating print titled "Case and mummy in its cerements from Giza" takes us on a mesmerizing journey back to Ancient Egypt. Captured by Samuel Augustus Binion and published in 1887, this colour lithograph showcases the intricate artistry of Egyptian funerary practices. Plate XXVI from Binion's renowned book "Ancient Egypt" this image offers a glimpse into the solemnity and reverence surrounding death in ancient times. The mummy, carefully wrapped in ornate burial cloth, lies peacefully within its decorated case. Every detail of the shroud speaks volumes about the beliefs and customs of that era.
