EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing Necropolis of Abydos in Middle Egypt, engraved by the talented English School during the 19th century. The image is part of a private collection and offers a glimpse into this ancient burial ground. The Necropolis of Abydos is an archaeological site located in the cultivated plain of Middle Egypt, surrounded by the vast expanse of the Libyan Desert. This engraving captures its ethereal beauty with its intricate topography and crude brick buildings scattered across excavated sand hillocks. In this scene, majestic mountains rise in the distance, adding to the grandeur and mystique of this sacred place. The presence of a sultan suggests that it was once an important center for religious rituals or political activities. The composition invites us to explore every detail carefully; from the meticulously carved tombs to the sprawling acropolis dominating the landscape. It transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine what life might have been like for those who lived here centuries ago. This remarkable print originally appeared as an illustration for The Graphic on November 14th, 1874 - providing readers with a visual feast and insight into one of Egypt's most significant historical sites. Preserved through time, it now resides within Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection thanks to Bridgeman Images' dedication to preserving art history for future generations.
