EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the excavation of the Great Temple of Luxor, located in Upper Egypt. The engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, offers a glimpse into this remarkable archaeological endeavor. The image captures the southern end of the temple's great courtyard, adorned with majestic columns that stand as silent witnesses to ancient history. The scene is filled with a sense of awe and wonder as Professor Maspero and his team diligently work amidst these ruins. Their tireless efforts bring to light fragments of an illustrious past, shedding light on the lives and beliefs of those who once walked these hallowed grounds. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the grandeur and magnificence that once defined this sacred space. The director general himself can be seen overseeing every detail while archaeologists carefully unearth remnants from Horemheb's reign during Amenhotep III's era. It is through images like these that we gain a deeper appreciation for ancient Egypt and its rich cultural heritage. This particular engraving was originally published in The Illustrated London News on July 18th, 1885 – a testament to how even centuries later, our fascination with uncovering history remains unyielding. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this piece from their Fine Art Finder collection so that we may continue to marvel at the wonders hidden within Lady Duff Gordon's house – relics waiting patiently for us to unravel their secrets.
