EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing detail of the Great Temple in Abu Sundul, Nubia, Egypt, taken in 1852 by Maxime Du Camp. The image showcases the intricate relief work on the temple walls, displaying the artistic prowess of ancient Egyptian civilization. The Great Temple is part of the Abu Simbel temples complex, which consists of two colossal rock-cut temples situated on the western bank of Lake Nasser. These magnificent structures are located about 230 km southwest of Aswan and hold great historical significance. In this particular photograph, we see a portrait-like depiction carved into the stone wall. It is believed to be an image of Ramesses II, also known as Ramesses the Great - one of Egypt's most celebrated pharaohs from the Nineteenth Dynasty. His reign spanned from 1279 BC to 1213 BC. The Abu Simbel temples are recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and form part of a larger collection called "Nubian Monuments". This archaeological treasure trove extends from Abu Simbel downriver to Philae near Aswan. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this piece capturing not only its historical value but also showcasing Du Camp's skillful photography. This print allows us to appreciate both ancient Egyptian artistry and modern photographic artistry simultaneously.
