EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the colossal figures in front of the Great Temple of Aboo-Simbel, taken between 1842 and 1846. The engraving, created by Louis Haghe, beautifully captures the grandeur and magnificence of this ancient Egyptian site. The image is a reproduction from volume four of "The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia" a series published in the mid-19th century. It features artwork by Scottish artist David Roberts and Belgian lithographer Louis Haghe. Together they bring to life the awe-inspiring architecture and rich history found within these pages. The imposing figures depicted in this print are symbolic representations of ancient Egypt's power and grandiosity. They stand as guardians before the entrance to one of Egypt's most iconic temples - Aboo-Simbel. This temple complex was built during Pharaoh Ramesses II's reign as a testament to his greatness. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the architectural marvels that have withstood centuries. The intricate details carved into stone tell stories of an advanced civilization that revered their gods through monumental structures like these. Ken Welsh has skillfully captured this momentous scene with his lens; preserving it for generations to come. As we gaze upon this print today, we can't help but be humbled by the sheer scale and artistry on display here. This photo serves as a reminder not only of our shared human history but also our ability to create enduring works that inspire wonderment even after hundreds or thousands of years have passed.
