EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning capital from Karnak, Egypt, taken in 1928 by an unknown creator. The intricate design of the spreading papyrus cluster capital is truly mesmerizing and holds immense historical significance. This particular piece was discovered in the middle aisle of the great columned hall within the magnificent Temple of Amun at Karnak. Dating back to 1292-1225 B. C. , during the reign of Rameses II, this ancient artifact bears his cartouche as a symbol of its royal origin. The photograph itself is derived from Plate IV, figure 8, featured in "An Encyclopaedia of Colour Decoration from the Earliest Times to the Middle of the XIXth Century" with explanatory text provided by Helmuth Bossert. The image beautifully captures not only the architectural features but also highlights its decorative elements. The floral motifs adorning this capital add an exquisite touch to its overall design. It serves as a testament to ancient Egyptian craftsmanship and their mastery in creating visually striking structures. Preserved through time, this photograph allows us to appreciate both the artistry and historical value associated with such archaeological treasures. Its inclusion in Ernst Wasmuth Ltd. 's publication further emphasizes its importance within scholarly circles interested in color decoration throughout history. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported back centuries ago when grand temples like Karnak stood as symbols of power and devotion.
