EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the ancient wonders of Egypt. The image showcases the descending gallery in the tomb of Sethos I, located in Thebes. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported to a time long gone. The photograph captures the essence of death and burial, as it depicts the corridor leading to the sepulchral chamber where Sethos I's mummy rests eternally. The opening into this mausoleum is carved into a mountain cliff, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to the scene. Intriguingly, people can be seen within the passageway, perhaps archaeologists or explorers who have ventured deep into these ancient chambers. Their presence adds scale and perspective to this awe-inspiring location. The use of stereoscopic photography further enhances our experience by creating a three-dimensional effect that brings us closer to understanding what it must have been like for those who walked these corridors centuries ago. As we delve deeper into this mesmerizing image, we cannot help but appreciate its historical significance. It serves as a testament to both Egyptian culture and human curiosity about our past. Through Underwood & Underwood's lens, combined with James Henry Breasted's insightful text, we are granted a glimpse into Egypt's rich heritage. This print truly encapsulates the spirit of exploration and discovery that continues to captivate audiences even today.
