EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to Thebes, on December 4th, 1838. It showcases a mesmerizing detail of the colossi of Memnon, two colossal statues that have stood tall for centuries. The photographer, David Roberts, captures the magnificence of these ancient Egyptian pharaoh statues with incredible precision. Every intricate detail is brought to life through his lens - from the hieroglyphics adorning their bodies to the weathered texture of their stone exteriors. Set against a backdrop of desert ruins, these imposing figures evoke a sense of awe and wonder. They were originally built during the reign of Amenhotep III and have witnessed countless generations come and go. Louis Haghe's masterful engraving technique further enhances this image's beauty and depth. The play between light and shadow adds an ethereal quality to the scene, as if we are witnessing a moment frozen in time. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Volume I of Egypt and Nubia by Bridgeman Images' collection, we can't help but be transported back to an era long gone. It serves as a powerful reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with history and our desire to preserve its remnants for future generations to appreciate.
