EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to ancient Egypt, specifically to the Old Kingdom period around 2500 BC. The image showcases an Egyptian tomb figure of a woman diligently grinding corn using a saddle quern. This artifact provides us with a glimpse into the daily life and work of women during that era. The photograph, taken in the early 20th century, beautifully captures the intricate details of this ancient object. The woman is depicted kneeling on the ground, focused on her task at hand. Her dedication to grinding corn highlights the importance of food production and sustenance in ancient Egyptian society. As we admire this remarkable tomb figure, we are reminded of the significance placed on death and burial rituals by the Egyptians. This lady's presence within a mausoleum speaks volumes about their beliefs surrounding afterlife and honoring ancestors. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of mystery and timelessness to this image, allowing us to appreciate both its historical value and artistic composition. Thanks to Ann Ronan Pictures' preservation efforts through this print collector edition, we can continue to explore and learn from these invaluable artifacts that connect us with our past.
