EDITORS COMMENTS
Embark on a journey back in time with this image from the 1930s, featuring a regal bust of Queen Nefertiti in profile against the backdrop of the majestic River Nile. This evocative print was originally published in "Notes for Passengers on Cook's Steamers," a travel guide for those embarking on a luxurious cruise with Thomas Cook, the renowned British travel company. Queen Nefertiti, one of Egypt's most famous pharaohs, ruled during the New Kingdom period, around 1375-1336 BC. Known for her beauty and elegance, she is depicted here wearing her distinctive royal headdress adorned with the symbol of the falcon god Horus. The Nile River, the lifeblood of ancient Egypt, stretches out behind her, its winding path marked by the subtle sketch in the background. The image exudes an air of royalty and historical significance, inviting passengers to explore the rich history and culture of Egypt. The 1930s were a golden age for travel, and this print serves as a testament to the allure of the exotic lands that drew tourists from around the world. As passengers prepared for their voyage down the Nile Delta, they would have pored over these "Notes," filled with practical advice and fascinating insights into the land they were about to discover. This evocative image would have fueled their anticipation and excitement for the adventure that lay ahead. With its blend of history, royalty, and the promise of adventure, this print is a captivating reminder of the enduring allure of Egypt and the golden age of travel.
