EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1920s, capturing the majestic presence of The Statue of Rameses II in Cairo, Egypt. Standing tall amidst a backdrop of lush palm trees, this monochrome image exudes an air of timeless grandeur. The statue itself is a testament to the power and influence of Rameses II, also known as Ramses the Great. As one of ancient Egypt's most revered pharaohs, his reign spanned over six decades during the 13th century BC. This regal figure stands as a symbol of strength and authority, reminding us of Egypt's rich history and its royal lineage. Surrounded by nature's beauty, with people going about their daily lives in the background, this photograph captures not only a historical monument but also paints a vivid picture of life in early 20th-century Cairo. It invites us to imagine what it must have been like to witness such an awe-inspiring sight firsthand. The plate from which this print was taken originates from "In the Land of Pharaohs" published by Lehnert & Landrock - renowned photographers who captured stunning images throughout Egypt at that time. Their work continues to be celebrated for its ability to transport viewers into another era. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, we are reminded that even though time has passed since its creation, the allure and magnificence embodied by The Statue of Rameses II remain eternally captivating.
