EDITORS COMMENTS
In this watercolour print titled "Heliopolis - As it Is, 1878" artist William Simpson takes us on a journey to ancient Egypt. The scene depicts English tourists galloping on donkeys through the historical site of Heliopolis, seemingly oblivious to the magnificent antiquities that surround them. The focal point of the composition is undoubtedly the Obelisk of Senusert, dating back to the 20th century BC. Standing tall and proud amidst its surroundings, it represents a testament to Egypt's rich history and cultural heritage. However, as British visitors speed past on their donkeys, one cannot help but feel a sense of disregard for these significant relics. Simpson's artwork offers an intriguing commentary on tourism in the late 19th century. It highlights how some travelers may prioritize excitement and adventure over appreciating and understanding the historical significance of their destinations. The vibrant colors used in this watercolour bring life to both the landscape and its characters. Simpson's attention to detail allows us to observe not only the majestic obelisk but also captures glimpses of Egyptian architecture and local bodies going about their daily lives. "Heliopolis - As it Is" serves as a reminder that even in our quest for exploration and discovery, we must take pause to appreciate and respect the treasures left behind by civilizations long gone.
