EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in ancient Egyptian history, showcasing an officer accompanied by his wife and daughter as they engage in the age-old practice of fowling. The marsh they are situated in is teeming with an abundance of water-fowl and fish, making it a prime location for their hunting expedition. The officer's hunting-cat takes center stage in the image, skillfully capturing birds before him. This scene is reminiscent of a wall painting found in a tomb at Thebes from the XVIIIth Dynasty, now housed within the prestigious British Museum's Third Egyptian Room. The mural-like quality of this photograph transports us back to that era, offering us a glimpse into the daily life and leisure activities enjoyed by ancient Egyptians. It serves as both a historical document and an exquisite piece of art. The presence of various animals - cats, birds, fish - adds depth to the composition while highlighting the close relationship between humans and nature during this time period. These creatures were not only sources of sustenance but also companions on these expeditions. Through this remarkable print from Fine Art Finder's collection by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back thousands of years to witness an intimate moment shared among family members engaged in one of Egypt's beloved pastimes amidst abundant wildlife.
