EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the majestic Statue of Rameses II, standing proudly in Luxor Temple. The image is part of a remarkable album containing 206 photographs compiled by Major W. H. J. Sale between 1940 and 1943. The English photographer, associated with World War Two's North African campaign, beautifully portrays the grandeur of this ancient Egyptian monument. Rameses II, also known as Ramesses the Great, ruled from 1298 to 1232 BC and left an indelible mark on history. In this snapshot, we witness the colossal statue surrounded by towering columns adorned with intricate hieroglyphics. The attention to detail in both sculpture and architecture is awe-inspiring. Major Sale's lens skillfully captures not only the physical beauty but also the historical significance of this iconic site. This photograph serves as a testament to Egypt's rich cultural heritage while simultaneously reflecting its connection to World War Two. Preserved at London's National Army Museum, this image offers us a glimpse into a time long past yet still resonates today. It reminds us that art has the power to transcend time and bring together different eras through visual storytelling. Bridgeman Images presents this extraordinary piece from their collection without any commercial intent; it exists purely for our appreciation and admiration of fine art photography capturing moments frozen in time like no other medium can achieve.
