EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring Temple of Abu Simbel in Egypt. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this image is now part of a private collection. The colossal size and grandeur of the temple are evident, as it stands proudly against the Egyptian landscape. The Temple of Abu Simbel holds immense historical significance, dating back to ancient times. Its construction was commissioned by Pharaoh Ramses II around 1264 BCE and took several years to complete. The temple served as a tribute to Ramses II's power and divine status, with massive statues flanking its entrance. This photograph captures the intricate details and architectural brilliance that make this temple a UNESCO World Heritage site today. Despite being relocated in the 1960s due to flooding caused by the Aswan High Dam project, its magnificence remains intact. Displayed prominently in "The New Book of Knowledge" edited by Sir John Hammerton in 1948, this image has become iconic for its representation of Egyptian history and culture. It serves as a reminder of humanity's ability to create enduring structures that withstand the test of time. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from their vast collection, allowing us to appreciate not only the artistic beauty but also delve into Egypt's rich past through one stunning photograph.
