EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1898, capturing the mesmerizing beauty of the First Cataract near the Island of Philae on the River Nile in Egypt. The image is a lithograph from "Rund um die Erde" (Round the Earth), a book written and illustrated by C. W. Allers. The scene showcases an enchanting blend of nature's wonders and man-made structures. Towering palm trees gracefully frame the riverbanks, while ancient rock formations rise majestically from the water's edge. A solitary building stands as a testament to human presence amidst this breathtaking landscape. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to an era when archaeological exploration was just beginning to unveil Egypt's rich history. The location itself holds immense historical significance, with Philae being one of Egypt's most important archaeological sites. The print evokes a sense of awe and wonder at both the natural grandeur and cultural heritage that North Africa has to offer. It serves as a reminder that even in our modern age, there are still hidden treasures waiting to be discovered within our planet's geographical features. This remarkable piece invites us to embark on a journey through time, where travel enthusiasts can immerse themselves in centuries-old literature and artistry while exploring new horizons across continents.
