EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the powerful figure of Rameses II, also known as Rameses the Great, who ruled over ancient Egypt. The image portrays a stern-looking king, his regal presence emanating from every inch of his being. With an air of authority and dominance, he stands tall as if commanding respect from all those around him. However, behind this majestic facade lies a darker history. Rameses II is infamous for oppressing the children of Israel during his reign. This photograph serves as a reminder of the struggles faced by these oppressed people under his rule. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this image has been preserved in a private collection. It was later used to illustrate "Early Footsteps of The Man of Galilee" by Hammond in 1894. The monochrome tones add depth and intensity to the photograph, emphasizing both the grandeur and tyranny associated with Rameses II's legacy. As we gaze upon this historical artifact captured through early photography techniques, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one chapter in humanity's complex story. This poignant portrayal invites us to reflect on power dynamics throughout history and serves as a testament to the resilience and endurance of those who have suffered oppression at the hands of their rulers.
