EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that belongs to the series of WD & HO Wills Cigarette Cards called Lucky Charms. Created in Bristol and London during the 1920s, this collectible card showcases a vibrant depiction of a scarab beetle. The scarab holds great significance in Egyptian mythology and ancient beliefs. In ancient Egypt, the scarab was considered a symbol of rebirth and protection. It was believed to possess magical powers and bring good luck to its wearer. This mythological creature held such importance that it became an integral part of Egyptian jewelry, particularly as amulets or talismans. The exquisite color palette used in this print enhances the beauty of the scarab's intricate details. Its shimmering wings and delicate legs are meticulously captured by an unknown creator who skillfully brought this lucky charm to life. This print not only represents a piece of history but also serves as a reminder of our fascination with symbolism and superstition throughout different cultures. The image transports us back to ancient Egypt, where belief in luck played an essential role in everyday life. As we gaze upon "The Scarab" we can't help but marvel at how something as small as an insect could hold such power over people's hearts and minds for centuries. This extraordinary cigarette card captures both the allure of ancient Egypt and our enduring desire for luck and protection in our own lives.
