EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Bois de Dattiers et de Doums, a Hamarneh, 1849-50" transports us back to the enchanting landscape of 19th century Egypt. Created by Maxime du Camp, a renowned French photographer and writer, this image captures the essence of the country's natural beauty. The scene showcases a picturesque grove filled with date palms and doum palms, also known as gingerbread trees. These majestic trees dominate the frame with their towering presence, creating an atmosphere of tranquility and serenity. The artist's skillful use of photography enhances the contrast between light and shadow, adding depth to every detail. Located in Akhetaten or Amarna Al Minya in Egypt, this particular spot holds historical significance as it was once part of Tell el Amarna - an ancient city built by Pharaoh Akhenaten during his reign. Through this photograph, we are transported to a time long gone but preserved through Du Camp's lens. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of its heritage art collection, this salted paper print is not only a testament to Du Camp's artistic prowess but also serves as a valuable historical document. It allows us to appreciate both the natural wonders that adorned ancient Egypt and the talent behind capturing them for posterity. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Maxime du Camp's portfolio, we are reminded that even centuries later; art has the power to transport us
