EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back to the ancient wonders of Egypt in the late 19th century. The image showcases the majestic Colossus of Memnon, a colossal statue located near Thebes. Standing tall against the backdrop of an expansive desert landscape, this awe-inspiring monument is a testament to the grandeur and sophistication of Ancient Egyptian civilization. The photographer, whose identity remains unknown, skillfully captures every intricate detail of this remarkable piece of art. Carved with precision and finesse, the Colossus exudes an air of mystery and power. Its weathered surface tells stories that have spanned centuries, leaving viewers mesmerized by its timeless beauty. Leonard de Selva's expert photography brings out the rich textures and nuanced shadows that play across the stone surface. Through his lens, we can almost feel ourselves standing before this monumental figure - dwarfed by its sheer size yet overwhelmed by its magnificence. As we gaze upon this print from a private collection, our imaginations are ignited with visions of ancient rituals and ceremonies that once took place at its feet. We are reminded that even after all these years, Ancient Egypt continues to captivate our collective consciousness with its enigmatic allure. This photograph serves as a window into history; it allows us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship but also the cultural significance behind such architectural marvels. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity and creativity while reminding us of our connection to those who came before us in shaping our world
