EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1905, offering a unique perspective of the Abu Simbel temple in Egypt. The image allows us to look down upon the river, revealing a breathtaking view of this ancient marvel. Constructed by Ramses II, one of Egypt's most prolific builders, the temple showcases his grandeur and artistic prowess. The statues adorning the front of the temple are not only remarkable but also serve as excellent portraits of Ramses II himself. Alongside these majestic figures, smaller sculptures depict various members of his family, providing insight into their significance within Egyptian royalty. Captured through stereoscopic photography by Underwood & Underwood for their series "Egypt Through the Stereoscope" this detail-oriented print transports us directly into this historical moment. It is evident that every aspect has been carefully composed to highlight both the architectural beauty and religious importance of Abu Simbel. As we gaze at this monochrome masterpiece, we can't help but be mesmerized by its geographical features—the rock face against which it stands tall and proud—and its location along the Nile River in Africa. This photograph serves as a testament to Egypt's rich history and cultural heritage while showcasing Rameses II's enduring legacy as a revered monarch. With James Henry Breasted providing insightful text alongside this visual treasure, we are granted an immersive experience that transcends time itself. This print from Heritage Images truly captures both our imagination and admiration for ancient Egypt's magnificent past.
