This print takes us back to the 1860s, during the remarkable excavations at the necropolis in Saqqara, Egypt. The image captures a pivotal moment in history when Auguste Mariette-Bey, a renowned French archaeologist and founder of the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, was diligently working on this site. With his expertise and passion for uncovering ancient treasures, Mariette-Bey began his groundbreaking work at Saqqara in 1850. This photograph showcases him amidst the ruins, surrounded by remnants of an extraordinary civilization that thrived thousands of years ago. The composition exudes an air of mystery as we witness Mariette-Bey's tireless efforts to unearth relics from Egypt's past. His dedication to preserving these artifacts would eventually lead to the establishment of one of the world's most prestigious museums dedicated to Egyptian art and history. Through this mesmerizing snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era where exploration and discovery were paramount.
