EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print from 1837, Sir John Gardner Wilkinson immortalizes the ancient Egyptian art of bread making, as depicted in the tomb of Pharaoh Ramesses III in the Valley of the Kings. The image is a testament to the enduring connection between food production and the divine realm in ancient Egyptian culture. Pharaoh Ramesses III, a powerful ruler of the Twentieth Dynasty, is believed to have reigned from 1186 to 1155 BCE. His tomb, KV11, is renowned for its richly decorated walls, which depict various scenes from Egyptian mythology and daily life. One such scene, which has captivated the imagination of scholars and artists alike, is the depiction of a baker at work. The print shows a baker, clad in a simple linen garment, standing before a large, open oven. He holds a long, wooden paddle in one hand and a basket filled with freshly harvested grain in the other. The grain is being poured into a large, wooden mortar, from which the baker extracts a lump of dough. The dough is then shaped into a round loaf and placed upon the hot stones of the oven. This scene is not only a testament to the importance of bread in ancient Egyptian society, but also an allegory of the cyclical nature of life. The grain, which once nourished the living, is now transformed into bread to sustain the dead in the afterlife. The baker, as a provider of sustenance, is thus a symbol of the life-giving power of the Nile and the divine providence of the gods. This woodcut print, with its intricate details and rich symbolism, offers a glimpse into the ancient world and the intricacies of Egyptian culture. It is a reminder of the enduring power of art to transport us across time and space, and to connect us with the shared human experience of making and sharing food.
