EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Gournah, Perystyle du Tombeau d Osymandias (Ramesseum Occidental); Thebes" takes us back to the ancient wonders of 19th century Egypt. Captured by French photographer Maxime du Camp in 1849/51 and printed in 1852, this work showcases the remarkable architecture of the burial site known as Ramesseum. The image transports us to a time when pharaohs ruled over this majestic land. The intricate details of the peristyle tomb entrance are beautifully preserved through the salted paper printing technique used by du Camp. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can almost feel the weight of history surrounding us. The grandeur and scale of Egyptian artistry is evident in every aspect of this image. From the towering columns to the ornate carvings adorning them, it is clear that no expense was spared in honoring Ramses II, also known as Ozymandias or Ramesses the Great. As we contemplate this piece from our vantage point at an art gallery or institute such as Chicago's Art Institute, we cannot help but marvel at how photography has allowed us to preserve these ancient treasures for future generations. It serves as a reminder that even after centuries have passed, human creativity and ingenuity continue to inspire awe and admiration. Maxime du Camp's photograph offers a glimpse into a world long gone but forever etched in our collective memory—a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance.
