EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a diverse assortment of ancient artifacts, each with its own intriguing story to tell. At the center of the composition lies a very small Egyptian mummy, peacefully resting within its intricately decorated coffin. The delicate bandages and carefully preserved body offer a glimpse into the fascinating world of Egyptology and the art of mummification. Flanking the mummy on either side are two other remarkable relics. On one side stands an ancient vase discovered amidst the ruins of Herculaneum, showcasing exquisite Roman pottery craftsmanship that has stood the test of time. On the other side, we find a Chinese parasol from 1810-17, elegantly painted and providing shelter from both sun and rain. The overall effect is an eclectic mix that spans continents and centuries, capturing our imagination with its rich history. This image is part of Kenelm Henry Digby's illustrated manuscript titled "The Naturalists Companion" which meticulously documents various animals as well as antiquities found in museums across Dublin Society and College. With handwritten labels accompanying each artifact, this print invites us to explore not only their physical beauty but also their cultural significance. It serves as a reminder that even in death or through fragments left behind by past civilizations, there is much we can learn about our shared human heritage.
