EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A tomb near the Nile cataracts, Egypt, 1880" takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century Egypt. The engraving, skillfully crafted by Benett, Hippolyte Leon, captures the essence of this ancient land with its rich history and cultural heritage. In this image, we are transported to a tomb nestled amidst the breathtaking beauty of the Nile cataracts. The scene is reminiscent of a Jules Verne novel, evoking a sense of adventure and exploration that characterized this era. Two individuals dressed in traditional Egyptian attire stand before the tombstones and crypts, adding an air of mystery to the composition. The sepulchres and headstones serve as poignant reminders of those who have come before us - their stories etched into these sacred grounds. The gravestones stand tall against time's passage, bearing witness to centuries gone by. Through this engraving, we glimpse not only the physical landscape but also catch a glimpse into Egyptian culture and identity. The intricate details in their costumes speak volumes about their national pride and traditions. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork captured by Jaime Abecasis' lens today, it serves as a testament to our fascination with history and our desire to connect with distant lands. It reminds us that even though time may pass relentlessly forward; there will always be remnants left behind for future generations to discover and admire.
