EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour lithograph titled "The Hieroglyphic" by John White Alexander transports us to the ancient monuments of Egypt, where inscriptions tell stories of a civilization rich in history and culture. The intricate hieroglyphics depicted in this artwork symbolize the evolution of language and literature, showcasing the progress of humanity through time.
As we gaze upon this stunning print, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our past and honoring the achievements of those who came before us. The figures depicted in this piece stand as guardians of knowledge, their presence a testament to the enduring legacy of Egyptian art and architecture.
Through detailed brushstrokes and vibrant colours, Alexander brings to life a scene that is both mysterious and enchanting. The woman holding a hammer symbolizes craftsmanship and skill, while the man standing on scaffolding represents progress and innovation.
"The Hieroglyphic" serves as a visual reminder that history is not just something confined to textbooks – it is alive in every monument, painting, and artifact that has withstood the test of time. This print invites us to explore our own connection to the past and reflect on how far we have come as a society.
