EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Anysis concealed in the marshes of the delta" takes us back to ancient Egypt, revealing a remarkable tale of resilience and power. The image portrays Anysis, the blind king of Egypt, who was overthrown by Sabacos only to find refuge in the hidden marshlands for an astonishing fifty years. From this unlikely hiding place, he eventually emerged to reclaim his throne. The scene is beautifully captured in black and white, showcasing the vastness of the marshland with its lush reeds and grasses stretching towards the water's edge. Anysis sits amidst this tranquil setting, surrounded by three animals - perhaps symbolic companions during his long exile. The photograph evokes a sense of mystery as we observe Anysis looking down contemplatively while birds perch nearby. It offers a glimpse into an ancient civilization where monarchs held immense power and faced extraordinary challenges. Ken Welsh's artwork transports us to another era, allowing us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic beauty. This archival engraving from Cassells Universal History published in 1888 serves as a visual testament to human resilience and determination against all odds. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are reminded that even when circumstances seem dire or insurmountable, there is always hope for redemption and restoration – just like Anysis' triumphant return to power after half a century spent concealed within these very marshes.
