Looking down on the island of Philae and its temples, Egypt, 1905. Artist: Underwood & Underwood
Looking down on the island of Philae and its temples, Egypt, 1905. Over on the right is the square kiosk which the natives call Pharaohs Bed; it has no roof and never was finished, but it is one of the gems of the palace. It dates back from the Roman age. The building with the large pylon is the lsis temple. That little obelisk is one of a pair - the other has been carried to England. They were created in the time of Ptolemy IX (about 557 BC) and are of especial interest because the one now in England was the monument which enabled Champollion to take the first steps in his decipherment of the hieroglyphic, before he employed the Rosetta stone. Stereoscopic card. Detail. From a series called Egypt Through the Stereoscope, text by James H Breasted

Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 31x27 inches (787x685mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting island of Philae in Egypt, circa 1905. As we gaze upon the image, our eyes are drawn to the magnificent temples that adorn this ancient land. On the right side of the picture stands a square kiosk known as Pharaoh's Bed, a remarkable structure with no roof and an unfinished appearance. Despite its incomplete state, it remains one of the palace's most precious gems, dating back to Roman times. Dominating the scene is the grand Isis temple, distinguished by its large pylon-like building. Nestled nearby is a petite obelisk that once had a twin but now resides in England. These obelisks were created during Ptolemy IX's reign around 557 BC and hold great historical significance. In fact, it was precisely this monument that enabled Champollion to embark on his groundbreaking decipherment of hieroglyphics before he even encountered the famed Rosetta Stone. The photograph itself belongs to a series called "Egypt Through The Stereoscope" featuring text by James H Breasted - an expert in Egyptian history and culture. This monochrome stereoscopic card allows us to immerse ourselves in Egypt's rich architectural heritage while providing insight into its religious practices and geographical features. As we contemplate this snapshot frozen in time, we cannot help but marvel at how it transports us back centuries ago when these temples stood tall amidst Egypt's breathtaking Nile Valley landscape.
