EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate engraving, titled "An Egyptian King and an Egyptian in Full Dress," is an exquisite illustration from Robert von Spalart's Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages, published in 1796. The image showcases two figures prominently dressed in the traditional attire of ancient Egypt. The Egyptian king, depicted in grandeur, dons a royal headdress adorned with the iconic double uraeus serpents and a golden pectoral. His garment is a simple linen shendyt kilt, which is secured around his waist with a broad, golden belt. The king's arms are crossed, signifying his regal authority and power. Beside him stands an Egyptian man, dressed in a simple linen shendyt kilt, a white linen shirt, and a red cloak. He wears a broad, white linen headband, and his arms are adorned with intricate bracelets and anklets. The man's posture suggests a sense of pride and respect towards the king. This engraving offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of ancient Egypt, providing valuable insights into the dress and appearance of its people during that time. The meticulous attention to detail in the handcoloring further enhances the authenticity and beauty of the image, making it a fascinating piece for historians, art enthusiasts, and anyone interested in ancient civilizations.
