The Representation of an Egyptian Mummy, in the Collection of Rackstrow's Museum Fleet Street.
[n.d., c.1760.]
Engraving. 285 x 285mm (11¼ x 11¼"). Thread margins, tiny hole in corner of folds.
Three illustrations of an Egyptian mummy, said at the time to be a pharoah's daughter: the front and back of the case and the wrapped figure inside. It was probably published as a souvenir of Benjamin Rackstrow's Museum, 197 Fleet Street, which contained curiosities, waxworks (including one of a dissected pregnant woman) and electrical devices. Rackstrow was colonel of the Trained Bands (Militia) of the City of London, which had an inactive Samuel Johnson in its ranks.
