Drawing on the remarkable number of artefacts that were being excavated and housed in repositories such as the British Museum, artists such as John Weguelin were able to depict scenes that seemed to bring ancient history to life. Weguelin’s first set of historical illustrations were for Lord Macaulay’s The Lays of Ancient Rome (1881).The Victorians were fascinated by Ancient Egypt. Equally, as pet lovers, the British responded warmly to this convincing evocation of the funeral rites accorded to a mummified cat.See more detail about this artwork
