EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "General View of Philae, c. 1880" takes us back in time to the ancient island of Philae in Lake Nasser, Egypt. The photographer behind this remarkable image is J. Pascal Sebah (1823-1886), a Lebanese artist whose talent for capturing architectural beauty shines through. Philae was once a sacred place for the Ancient Egyptians, housing the tomb of Osiris and numerous other significant buildings. However, due to the threat posed by rising waters caused by the construction of the Aswan Low Dam, UNESCO made the crucial decision to relocate these precious structures to nearby Agilkia Island in 1960. In this photograph, we are transported into an era long gone as we witness the majestic ruins that remain on Philae Island. The intricate details of ancient Egyptian architecture are beautifully preserved within each stone structure captured by Sebah's lens. The composition invites us to explore every nook and cranny of this historical site; our eyes wander from one temple ruin to another with awe and wonder. It serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's ability to construct enduring monuments that withstand both time and nature's challenges. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing photograph from Bridgeman Images' collection, we can't help but feel a sense of reverence for those who came before us – their ingenuity and devotion immortalized within these crumbling walls.
