EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Felix Teynard transports us back to the ancient wonders of Abo-Sembil, Grand Speos. The colossal statues, seen from their frontal perspective in the lower part of the frame, exude an aura of grandeur and mystery. Dating back to 1851-52, this photograph captures the essence of ancient Egypt's rich archaeological heritage. The monumental temple of Abu Simbel dominates the landscape with its imposing presence. Its intricate sculptures and architectural details are beautifully captured in this salted paper print. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but marvel at the skill and artistry that went into creating such a magnificent structure. Teynard's photography allows us to appreciate not only the external beauty of these ancient buildings but also their religious significance. These statues were not mere decorations; they held deep spiritual meaning for those who worshipped within these sacred walls. As we contemplate this photograph, we are transported to another time and place - a testament to both Teynard's artistic vision and his dedication to documenting historical sites. This piece is a true treasure housed within The Metropolitan Museum of Art, reminding us of our shared human history and cultural legacy.
