London Transport Poster - The World of the Pharoahs

'Sun drenched, bizarre, haunted by hybrids, man-lions, bird-gods... Observe, in the British Museum, mummies, their cases gay with ritual scenes and glimpses of the life-to-come. Stand dwarfed before colossal kings with bland almond eyes and cruel yet gently smiling lips. Across four thousand years this rich and complex civilisation still teases amateur and scholar with its unsolved riddles.'
