EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of the Assouan Dam, showcasing breathtaking views of Philae and its surrounding vicinity. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this print is a testament to the timeless beauty of Egypt's architectural wonders. The image transports us back to December 1902 when it was featured as an illustration in The Illustrated London News. It offers a glimpse into a world long gone, where ancient ruins coexist with modern engineering marvels. In this picture, we can see the first cataract and columns rising proudly against the backdrop of distant pyramids. The pylon stands tall amidst fortified structures while water flows gracefully through open courts. Places of worship dotting the landscape remind us of Egypt's rich religious history. The main temple on Philae Island takes center stage, commanding attention with its intricate architecture and storied past. As our eyes wander across the frame, we are drawn to details like Mr. Talbot capturing moments on his dahabeah or catching sight of Pharaoh's bed nestled among ruins. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the technical prowess behind early photography but also serves as a visual time capsule that preserves Egypt's cultural heritage for generations to come.
