The Grotto Temple of Abu Simbel, seen from the Nile, Egypt, 1905
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back to ancient Egypt, capturing the majestic beauty of the Grotto Temple of Abu Simbel. Created by Ramses II, one of Egypt's most renowned pharaohs known for his colossal works, this temple stands as a testament to his power and artistic prowess. The photograph showcases the temple's grandeur with its towering statues that represent Ramses II himself. Each statue is an excellent portrait, displaying remarkable attention to detail. Alongside these larger figures are smaller ones depicting various members of his family. Taken from a series called "Egypt Through the Stereoscope" this detailed stereoscopic card offers viewers a unique perspective on this historical site. It allows us to immerse ourselves in the rich religious and cultural heritage of ancient Egypt. In this image, we see a sailing boat gracefully navigating along the mighty River Nile towards the temple. The cliff face behind it adds drama and emphasizes both nature's awe-inspiring presence and human ingenuity in constructing such monumental structures amidst challenging landscapes. As we gaze upon this monochrome scene captured by Underwood & Underwood in collaboration with Keystone photographer James Henry Breasted, we can't help but marvel at how time has preserved not only these architectural wonders but also our fascination with them. This print serves as a reminder of Egypt's enduring legacy and invites us to explore its history further.
