EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "View from the Ramesseum southeast over the plain of Thebes, Egypt, 1905" takes us back to the ancient world of Egypt. In this image captured by Underwood & Underwood, we are transported to a time when pharaohs no longer built pyramids but instead carved enormous tombs into the valley behind a towering cliff. The scene unfolds before our eyes as we gaze eastward towards the royal mortuary temples nestled amidst rubble and ruins. The stereoscopic card allows for an immersive experience, bringing depth and dimension to this snapshot of history. We can almost feel ourselves standing on that very spot, surrounded by statues and debris that bear witness to centuries past. As we take in this monochrome masterpiece, it's hard not to be overwhelmed by the religious significance emanating from every corner of this landscape. This was a land where death and burial were intertwined with intricate rituals and beliefs. Through this photograph, we gain insight into both the geographical features of Egypt - its cliffs and mausoleums - as well as its rich cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder that even in ruins, there is beauty to be found. With each detail carefully preserved within this print collector's treasure trove, we owe gratitude to James Henry Breasted for his insightful text accompanying these images. Together with Keystone's expertise in capturing such moments in time, they have allowed us access into a world long gone but forever etched in our collective memory.
