EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the timeless beauty of the Lotus columns at Luxor Temple. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this print is part of a remarkable album compiled by Major W. H. J. Sale during his time in North Africa between 1940 and 1943. The image transports us to a different era, showcasing the remnants of an ancient civilization amidst the backdrop of World War Two. The column's intricate design and grandeur are a testament to Egyptian architecture, standing tall as witnesses to centuries gone by. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can't help but marvel at the juxtaposition of history and conflict. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in times of turmoil, art endures. The ruins symbolize resilience while offering solace from the chaos surrounding them. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also represents Major Sale's experiences during his military service. His association with the war adds another layer of significance to this already compelling image. Preserved within the National Army Museum in London, this photograph invites us to reflect on our shared human history – its triumphs and tribulations alike. It reminds us that even amid destruction, there is always something beautiful worth preserving for future generations.
