EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Sebouah, Temple, Colosse et Sphinx de la Partie Gauche de l Avenue, 1851-52" takes us back to the ancient wonders of Egypt in the 19th century. The image was captured by French photographer Felix Teynard during his exploration of this mystical land. In this archaeological site located in Nubia Egypt, Teynard skillfully captures the essence of a mythical era. The salted paper print showcases a landscape filled with sand dunes and desert as far as the eye can see. Amidst this barren backdrop stands an awe-inspiring temple adorned with statues and sculptures that seem to come alive through Teynard's lens. The focal point of the composition is undoubtedly the majestic sphinx guarding the entrance to this ancient sanctuary. Its enigmatic expression and imposing presence evoke a sense of mystery and wonder. Surrounding it are other mythical creatures carved into stone, each telling its own story from Egyptian mythology. Teynard's mastery lies not only in capturing these remarkable structures but also in conveying their historical significance. Through his lens, we are transported back to a time when pharaohs ruled over vast empires and gods walked among mortals. Today, this extraordinary photograph is preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art where it serves as a testament to both Felix Teynard's artistic vision and Egypt's rich cultural heritage. It allows us to appreciate the beauty of ancient architecture while igniting our curiosity
