Hardcover. Etat : Fine. The etchings capture different perspectives on the Sarcophagus of Sennedjem, which was found in the necropolis of Deir el-Medina on the West Bank at Luxor in 1886. The sarcophagus itself features scenes from the Book of the Dead. Luis Lopez Loza's (b. 1939) designs recall bones and organs, rendered abstractly, as if the viewer were looking through the lid of the sarcophagus to the body inside. 5 x 9 in. Ten panels, unfolding to about 50 in. Six etchings with aquatint and carborundum print accents. Letterpress printed on Arches paper. Accordion bound in yellow paper boards titled in black and printed with an illustration of the Sarcophagus of Sennedjem.
