EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of the Propylone leading to the temple of Kons in Karnak, Thebes, Egypt. Taken by Henry Cammas, a French photographer known for his exceptional eye for detail and composition, this image showcases his mastery in capturing architectural beauty. The photograph was created using an albumenized salted paper print from a waxed paper negative, adding depth and texture to the final result. Measuring at 31.1 x 24.4 cm (12 1/4 x 9 5/8 in. ), it allows viewers to immerse themselves in the intricate details of this ancient structure. Dating back to around 1859-1860 when the negative was taken and printed approximately two years later, this piece serves as a testament to both Cammas' technical skill and dedication as well as its historical significance. As you gaze upon this image, you can almost feel yourself transported back in time to witness firsthand the awe-inspiring architecture that once stood proudly in Egypt's rich history. The propylone stands tall against the backdrop of clear blue skies while showcasing intricate carvings and hieroglyphics that tell stories of gods and pharaohs long gone. This print is not only a visual delight but also a valuable artifact that offers us glimpses into ancient civilizations through Cammas' lens. It is truly an extraordinary piece that deserves admiration for its artistic merit and historical importance alike.
