EDITORS COMMENTS
This drawing of a Sphinx is an exquisite work of art created by Ellen Philadelphia Smyth (1828-1881), an accomplished artist and an intriguing connection to the world of scouting. Smyth was an aunt of Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of the Scout Movement. The drawing, believed to have been created in the 1850s, depicts the enigmatic Sphinx from a statue housed in the British Museum. The Sphinx is a mythological creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human or animal, often depicted with the wings of a bird and the tail of a serpent. This ancient Egyptian symbol of wisdom and guardianship has captivated the imagination of artists, writers, and thinkers for centuries. Baden-Powell, inspired by the adventurous spirit of the Sphinx and other mythological creatures, drew upon the symbolism and lessons of these ancient myths when developing the Scout Movement. The Scouts, with their distinctive uniforms and emblems, continue to embody the spirit of exploration, adventure, and personal growth that the Sphinx represents. Ellen Philadelphia Smyth's drawing offers a glimpse into the rich history and symbolism that has influenced the Scouting Movement. The intricate details of the Sphinx's lion body, human head, and bird wings are rendered with a masterful touch, inviting viewers to ponder the mysteries of the past and the enduring power of mythology.
