Of Old Egypt and Modern Beauty
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Captivating Comparison of Ancient and Modern Feminine Grace This evocative cover image from the 1930s, titled "Of Old Egypt and Modern Beauty," showcases an intriguing juxtaposition of the ancient and the modern. The photograph features three women in profile, with Lady Kay Muir, an English socialite and society figure, posing alongside the bust of Queen Nefertiti and Madame Guepin, a French actress. The image, which exudes an air of elegance and sophistication, highlights the striking similarities between the profiles of these women, both ancient and modern. Lady Kay Muir and Madame Guepin, dressed in high fashion attire of the 1930s, don elegant headgear that echoes the headdresses of ancient Egyptian queens like Nefertiti. The similarities extend to their regal bearing and the graceful curves of their shoulders and busts. The cover, which could be described as a sketch or a profile parity, is a testament to the enduring allure of Egyptian culture and the timeless beauty of women. The image, which is reminiscent of orientalist art popular during the 19th and 20th centuries, reflects the fascination with the Middle East and Eastern cultures that was prevalent during the 1930s. The cover of this magazine, which is dated 1930, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the ways in which the ancient and the modern intersected and influenced each other. The image, which has been preserved in this print from Mary Evans Prints Online, continues to captivate and inspire viewers with its timeless beauty and intriguing comparison of the past and present.
