EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Ibsamboul, Colosse Oriental Du Speos De Phre, Vu De Profil; Nubie, 1849/51" captures the majestic beauty of an ancient Egyptian monument. Taken by Maxime du Camp in 1852 as part of his album "Egypte, Nubie, Palestine et Syrie" this salted paper print showcases the remarkable artistry and architectural prowess of the 19th dynasty. In this image, we see a profile view of the colossal statue known as the Colossus of Abu Simbel. Standing proudly against a backdrop of rock-cut structures, it symbolizes the grandeur and power associated with pharaohs such as Ramses II (also known as Rameses or Ozymandias). The intricate details on its surface speak volumes about ancient Egyptian craftsmanship. This photograph not only serves as a visual record but also provides us with insights into religious practices during that time. It reminds us that Egypt was not just a country but a land deeply rooted in spirituality and reverence for their monarchs. As we gaze upon this historic artwork captured through du Camp's lens, we are transported back to an era where kings ruled over vast territories and left behind enduring legacies. This piece is not just an artifact; it represents our connection to our shared human history and heritage.
