EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of Karnak, an archaeological site in Thebes, ancient Egypt. Taken by French photographer Felix Teynard in 1851-52 and printed in 1853-54, this image showcases a remarkable Sphinx with both a human head and a ram's head, forming a unique "Y" shape. The photograph transports us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the rich history of Africa and its ancient Egyptian civilization. The ruins of Karnak Temple stand proudly in the background, their stone structures bearing witness to centuries of religious devotion. Teynard's artistry is evident as he expertly captures the landscape surrounding Luxor al Uqsur (Luxor), highlighting its architectural splendor amidst a backdrop of North African beauty. The salted paper print technique used adds depth and texture to every detail. As we admire this mythical creature frozen in time, we are reminded of the significance it held within Egyptian mythology - symbolizing power and protection. This photograph serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an invaluable historical document. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this piece invites viewers on a journey through time while also inspiring wanderlust for those seeking to explore this iconic tourist attraction firsthand. It stands as a testament to Teynard's talent for capturing not only physical structures but also the essence of cultural heritage through his lens.
