EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in history as English tourists, including King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, explore the ancient Tomb of the Kings in Egypt during their travels in 1869. The Tomb of the Kings, located in Luxor, is a fascinating archaeological site dating back to the New Kingdom of Egypt, around 1550-1077 BC. The tombs were believed to be the burial places of pharaohs and powerful nobles. Edward VII, who would later become King of England in 1901, and Alexandra, his wife and future Queen Consort, are seen here in the dimly lit interior of one of the tombs, surrounded by their companions. They are holding torches, their faces illuminated by the flickering light, as they marvel at the intricate carvings and hieroglyphics adorning the walls. The atmosphere in the tomb is both awe-inspiring and eerie, with the shadows of the tourists and their torches dancing on the ancient walls, and the faint rustling of bats in the background adding to the sense of mystery and adventure. The photograph captures the sense of wonder and discovery that came with travel to far-off lands in the late 19th century, as Europeans sought to explore and learn about the history and culture of other parts of the world. The Tomb of the Kings remains a popular tourist destination today, drawing visitors from around the world who come to marvel at the ancient history and culture of Egypt. This photograph is a reminder of the rich history and the sense of adventure that has drawn travelers to Egypt for centuries.
