EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing glimpse into the ancient world of Egypt. Titled "Case and mummy in its cerements from Gizeh" this image is taken from Volume II, plate XXVI of the renowned book "Ancient Egypt" by Samuel Augustus Binion, published in 1887. The photograph captures an intricately decorated inner case containing a mummified body wrapped in ornate burial cloth. The shroud, known as cerement, envelops the corpse with meticulous care and artistry. Every fold and crease on this ancient wrapping tells a story of reverence for the deceased. The scene transports us to Giza, where this extraordinary artifact was discovered. The attention to detail in both the decoration of the inner case and the burial cloth reflects the profound significance placed on preserving life beyond death by ancient Egyptians. Through this tinted chromolitho print, we are granted a rare opportunity to witness firsthand how these remarkable individuals were honored even after their passing. The elaborate ornamentation serves as a testament to their belief in an afterlife filled with beauty and splendor. This particular print belongs to a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection and is made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform. It offers us not only an aesthetic delight but also deep insights into one of humanity's most fascinating civilizations – Ancient Egypt.
