EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Egyptian Dress, taken from the renowned collection "Trachten der Voelker" in 1864. The color lithograph, created by the talented artist Albert Kretschmer, beautifully captures the intricate details of this ancient attire. The image features a female figure adorned in traditional Egyptian garments, complete with a hieroglyphic patterned dress and an elaborate headress. Standing proudly, she carries a fan as a symbol of her prestigious role as the fan carrier of the king. Her regal appearance is further enhanced by the presence of a false beard and an uraeus on her forehead. Surrounded by other figures dressed in similar fashion, including gentlemen and gentlewomen, it becomes evident that this depiction represents royalty or nobility within ancient Egypt. A priest can also be seen among them, emphasizing the religious significance attached to these ceremonial outfits. The composition exudes elegance and grandeur as it portrays individuals seated on thrones while others stand beside them holding staffs - symbols of power and authority. This visual narrative offers us a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle enjoyed by kings, queens, princes, and princesses during this era. Overall, this mesmerizing print not only serves as a testament to Egypt's rich cultural heritage but also highlights its deep-rooted connection to religion and spirituality through its portrayal of priests and monks belonging to various religious orders.
