Aswan Eclipsed: A Historical Moment Captured on the Banks of the Nile This photograph, titled "Aswan Eclipsed," offers a unique perspective of the Aswan Dam on the River Nile in Egypt, captured during an eclipse on November 11, 1901. The image, part of the extensive collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, is a rare find, as it is the only known photograph of a dam taken during an eclipse in the entire archive. The Aswan Dam, an engineering marvel of its time, was constructed between 1898 and 1902 to harness the power of the Nile and provide a reliable water supply for the growing community in Egypt. The dam's construction was a significant milestone in the history of water management and irrigation, transforming the lives of millions in the region. The photograph, taken on this fateful day in 1901, not only captures the architectural grandeur of the dam but also the awe-inspiring phenomenon of a solar eclipse. The sun's temporary disappearance casts an ethereal glow over the dam and the surrounding landscape, creating a mesmerizing scene that transports us back in time. The image serves as a testament to the rich history of Egypt and its engineering achievements. It also highlights the interconnectedness of human progress and the natural world, as the dam, built to serve the community's needs, becomes a backdrop for a celestial event. This photograph, with its historical significance and visual allure, invites us to reflect on the past and the enduring impact of human ingenuity on the natural world. It is a reminder of the power of documentation and the stories that lie within the frames of our collective history.
