EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia-toned print captures the majestic Colossi of Memnon, statues of Amenhotep III, from the XVIII Dynasty in ancient Egypt. Standing tall and proud in Thebes, these colossal figures have withstood the test of time since their creation around 1375-1358 BC. The photographer, Francis Bedford (1816-94), skillfully captured the grandeur and intricacy of these monumental sculptures. Each statue is a testament to the artistic prowess and engineering marvels achieved by ancient Egyptians. One cannot help but be awestruck by their sheer size and imposing presence. These stone giants were once part of an even larger complex that included other structures like the famous Vocal Memnon statue. As we gaze upon this photograph today, it transports us back to a time long gone but not forgotten. It serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with history and our relentless pursuit to preserve its remnants. This particular print belongs to a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection, ensuring its safekeeping for future generations to appreciate. Through this image, we are granted a glimpse into an ancient civilization's rich cultural heritage - one that continues to captivate scholars and enthusiasts alike. In capturing these iconic colossi through his lens, Bedford has immortalized them in yet another medium – photography – allowing us all to marvel at their magnificence centuries later.
