EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Psammetichus and the Bronze Helmet, 1890" captures a fascinating moment in ancient Egyptian history. Psammetichus I, the king of the 26th Dynasty of Egypt, is depicted using his helmet for libation in the Temple of Hephaestus. This act was considered sacrilegious by other kings who subsequently exiled him to the desert. The image, taken from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" an esteemed book by Edmund Ollier published in 1890, showcases a engraving that adds a sense of historic charm to the scene. Psammetichus stands tall with his arm raised and hand gesturing towards his bronze helmet as he performs this forbidden ceremony. Surrounded by a group of men dressed in regal attire, including high priests and royal figures, Psammetichus appears both defiant and determined. The atmosphere inside the temple is filled with intrigue as whispers of scandalous gossip circulate among those present. This illustration transports us back to ancient Egypt's rich religious traditions and political power struggles. It serves as a reminder that even monarchs were not immune to controversy or exile when their actions challenged established norms. With its monochrome aesthetic and attention to detail, this print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into history while contemplating themes such as religion, power dynamics, and human ambition.
