EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white lithograph, titled "Killing birds in the marshes, c. 1920" we are transported back in time to witness a scene of ancient Egyptian hunting. The print, created by Henry Charles Seppings Wright, offers us a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of this fascinating civilization. The image depicts a group of hunters dressed in elaborate costumes as they navigate through the lush marshes. Armed with various weapons such as spears and throw sticks, they skillfully stalk their prey - birds that inhabit these wetlands. The hunters' focused expressions reveal their determination to provide sustenance for their community. As we observe this snapshot from the past, it becomes evident that hunting was not merely an act of survival but also a form of recreation and sport for these Egyptians. Their attire suggests that this activity held cultural significance beyond its practical purpose. Wright's lithograph beautifully captures both the tranquility of the marshes and the excitement surrounding the hunt. Through his meticulous attention to detail, he transports us back to a time when humans relied on nature's resources for sustenance while simultaneously engaging in playful competition. This remarkable piece serves as a reminder of our connection to history and how ancient practices continue to shape our present-day understanding of culture and tradition.
