EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a scene from ancient Egypt, showcasing the driving of a large herd of cattle for stocktaking purposes on an Egyptian farm. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this print is now part of a private collection. The image depicts a bustling moment on the farm, with farmers skillfully herding the cattle across vast fields. In the lower register of the photo, we see a scribe seated and diligently writing a list of groups containing five animals each. This meticulous record-keeping highlights the importance placed on inventory management even in ancient times. The mural-like quality of this photograph transports us back to Thebes during the XVIIIth Dynasty. It is believed to be inspired by wall paintings found in tombs at that time. The British Museum's Third Egyptian Room serves as its backdrop, adding an extra layer of historical significance to this remarkable composition. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are reminded not only of life on an Egyptian farm but also how art has been used throughout centuries to document and preserve cultural practices. This image offers us a glimpse into daily life in ancient Egypt while celebrating both human ingenuity and artistic expression.
