EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving from 1879 captures the grandeur of ancient Egypt in exquisite detail. The print showcases a bas relief on the exterior north wall of the Temple of Karnak, located in Thebes. This monumental structure was built during the reign of Seti I, a revered pharaoh of Egypt. The intricate engravement depicts an important historical landmark - the Suez Canal. Stretching across Middle East and North Africa, this waterway played a significant role in connecting continents and facilitating trade for centuries. The image transports us back to a time when this engineering marvel was still relatively new. With its retro charm and Victorian-era style, this engraving is not just an artistic representation but also a window into Egyptian culture and history. It serves as a testament to the ingenuity and architectural prowess of ancient Egyptians while showcasing their reverence for their pharaohs. As we gaze upon this illustrative technique, we are reminded of how art can transcend time, allowing us to appreciate moments frozen forever within its strokes. This piece invites us to explore Egypt's rich heritage through visual storytelling
