EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the early 19th century and enter a room adorned with the grandeur and mystery of ancient Egypt. This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving by Andrea Bernieri, taken from Giulio Ferrario's "Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World," published in Florence, Italy in 1843, invites us to explore the opulence of a bygone era. At the heart of the scene, a man dressed in Western attire sits comfortably on an ornate Egyptian-style carpet, surrounded by the richness of the Egyptian motifs that adorn the walls, curtains, and cushions. The room's decor is a harmonious blend of East and West, reflecting the fascination with Egyptian culture that swept through Europe during this period. Two servants, dressed in traditional Egyptian garb, bring trays laden with drinks, adding to the room's grandeur. A grandfather clock, with its intricate woodwork and Egyptian hieroglyphics, stands tall and proud in one corner, while the room's large windows allow sunlight to filter in, casting a warm glow over the scene. The intricate details of this engraving are a testament to the skill and artistry of the time. From the delicate folds of the curtains to the intricate patterns on the carpet, every detail is rendered with meticulous care. This image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the allure of ancient Egypt held sway over the European imagination.
