EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph depicts an enchanting scene of ancient Egyptian structures nestled along the shores of Lake Moeris, or Lake Karun, in El Fayum, Egypt. The serene waters reflect the majestic silhouettes of pyramids and the intricately carved Temple of Hapi, the god of the Nile flood. The temple, with its tall columns and ornate decorations, stands proudly against the backdrop of the barren desert landscape. The pyramids, a testament to the engineering prowess of the ancient Egyptians, rise gracefully from the sand, their once-white limestone exteriors now weathered and worn. The image captures the ethereal beauty of this historical site, transporting us back in time to the rich cultural heritage of Northeastern Egypt. The lithograph is taken from Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, published in Meissen around 1835-1840. This collection of handcolored lithographs was an important contribution to the fields of ethnography, anthropology, and history, providing detailed and accurate representations of various peoples, customs, and costumes from around the world.
