EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Obelisks of Luxor, 1869" takes us back in time to the ancient wonders of Egypt. The image showcases the magnificent obelisks standing tall against a backdrop of architectural grandeur. These towering structures, dating back to the 13th century BC, were originally erected by Ramesses II in front of his temple at Luxor. The level of detail captured in this print allows us to appreciate the intricate craftsmanship that went into creating these monumental statues. Each line etched on their surface tells a story of Egyptian history and culture. The engravings also highlight the sheer size and scale of these obelisks, emphasizing their significance as symbols of power and prestige. As we gaze upon this scene from over a century ago, we are transported to an era where archaeology was still uncovering the secrets buried beneath layers of sand and time. This print serves as a testament to human curiosity and our relentless pursuit for knowledge about ancient civilizations. Displayed proudly in Paris' Bibliotheque du College de France, this artwork is not only visually stunning but also holds immense historical value. It reminds us that even centuries later, these remnants from antiquity continue to captivate our imagination and inspire awe for the achievements of those who came before us.
