EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print takes us back to the ancient civilization of Egypt, where the sacred ibis was revered and worshipped. The European School artist beautifully captures the essence of this venerated bird in stunning detail. Intricate hieroglyphs adorn the background, showcasing the importance of religious symbolism in Egyptian culture. A priest, dressed in traditional attire, stands beside a woman as they observe the sacred ibis feeding. The priest's presence signifies his role as an intermediary between humans and gods, emphasizing the spiritual significance attached to these magnificent creatures. The card itself is part of a series on revered animals published during the late 19th or early 20th century. Its educational nature highlights how animals played an integral role in ancient Egyptian belief systems and rituals. The image evokes a sense of awe and reverence for these birds that were considered divine messengers. It serves as a reminder of our human fascination with nature's wonders and our eternal quest for understanding life's mysteries. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem from their private collection, allowing us to glimpse into Egypt's rich cultural heritage through art. As we admire this print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how religion intertwined with daily life in ancient Egypt.
