EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Ptolemaic-Roman capital from Philae, Egypt, dating back to the 1st century AD or BC. The creator of this remarkable piece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to its already fascinating history. The Lily capital featured in this photograph is believed to have originated during either the Ptolemaic or Roman period and was inspired by ancient Egyptian architectural designs. It exudes elegance and sophistication with its intricate floral motifs and foliage that adorn the column. Originally captured by Achille Constant Théodore Émile Prisse d'Avennes, a renowned French archaeologist and artist, this image has been immortalized in "An Encyclopaedia of Colour Decoration from the Earliest Times to the Middle of the XIXth Century". The book's explanatory text by Helmuth Bossert provides valuable insights into the significance and craftsmanship behind such architectural features. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are transported back in time to ancient Egypt, marveling at their mastery of design and decoration. This archaeological treasure serves as a testament to human creativity throughout different centuries. Displayed indoors within Ernst Wasmuth Ltd. 's publication in Berlin during 1928, it continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty. Let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also recognize its historical importance as a symbol of cultural heritage preserved for generations to come.
