EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the majestic beauty of Assuan's Philae Temple before it succumbed to the forces of nature. Taken by an English photographer in the early 20th century, this print is a precious relic from a private collection. The image showcases the temple in all its glory, standing tall against the backdrop of Upper Egypt. The Philae Temple, steeped in history and Egyptian heritage, is depicted here as it was before being submerged by the Inondation. This rare glimpse into its past serves as a reminder of its significance and architectural grandeur. The photograph was originally featured in a souvenir booklet titled "36 Nice Artistic Views of Upper Egypt" published by Cairo Postcard Trust around 1905. Through expertly executed gravure printing techniques, every intricate detail of this historic site comes to life. From the imposing columns to the ornate carvings adorning its walls, each element tells a story that spans centuries. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how Assuan's Philae Temple once stood proudly on dry land. It serves as both a testament to human ingenuity and an homage to ancient civilizations that have left an indelible mark on our world. This photograph is not just a piece of art; it encapsulates an era long gone while preserving forever the memory of one of Egypt's most treasured landmarks.
