EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, taken during the Victorian period, transports us back in time to the ancient Temple of Seti 1 in Abydos, Egypt. Seti I, an ancient Egyptian pharaoh, began the construction of this magnificent temple around 1279 BC, dedicating it to the gods Osiris, Set, and Horus. The image showcases the awe-inspiring architecture of the temple's grand entrance, adorned with intricate carvings and hieroglyphics. The temple's columns, covered in hieroglyphs, reach up towards the clear blue sky, creating a sense of grandeur and mystery. The photograph is further enhanced by the addition of a Victorian-era lantern, casting a warm and inviting glow on the scene. The lantern, with its ornate design and delicate glass, adds a touch of elegance and romance to the image, transporting us back to an era of exploration and discovery. The photograph is part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. This collection offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing us with a wealth of historical and cultural insights. The image captures the essence of the Victorian era, a time when travel and exploration were at the forefront of society's interests. As we gaze at this photograph, we are reminded of the rich history and cultural significance of ancient Egypt, and the enduring fascination it holds for us even today. The Temple of Seti 1 in Abydos stands as a testament to the ingenuity and artistic achievements of the ancient Egyptians, and this photograph serves as a beautiful reminder of the Victorian era's fascination with the mysteries of the past.
