The hunting of the wild bull, carved on a tempkle wall at Medinet Habu, Thebes, Egypt, 1905.Artist: Underwood & Underwood

The hunting of the wild bull, carved on a tempkle wall at Medinet Habu, Thebes, Egypt, 1905. This is one of the most spirited scenes that an Egyptian sculptor ever wrought. The king, with reigns slackened and hanging in a distinct curve from his waist, urges on his plumed horses as they dash after the great hull, plunging through the reeds in the vain endeavour to escape to the river. Poising his long lance ready for the fatal thrust, the eager Pharaoh leans far over the front of his chariot; as he strains to reach the fleeing prey, he has placed one foot out upon the chariot-pole.

Looking south over the Theban plain and Temples of Medinet Habu, Egypt, 1905.Artist: Underwood & Underwood

Looking south over the Theban plain and Temples of Medinet Habu, Egypt, 1905. Here at our feet are a few of the tombs [of Medinet Habu]. You observe that the face of the cliff has been smoothed and so cut as to produce a perpendicular wall with a court in front. In the middle of the perpendicular wall is a door leading to the chapel-chamber of the tomb which is excavated in the solid rock. Stereoscopic card. Detail.
