EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases the majestic Obelisk of the Temple of the Sun at Heliopolis, a true testament to ancient Egyptian grandeur. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures every intricate detail of this historical marvel. The obelisk stands tall against a backdrop of clear blue skies, its imposing presence commanding attention. Its smooth surface is adorned with hieroglyphics that tell stories from a time long past. The precision and skill required to carve such intricate symbols are evident in every stroke. Located in Heliopolis, Egypt, this temple was dedicated to Ra, the sun god worshipped by ancient Egyptians. As rays of sunlight bathe the obelisk's surface, one can almost feel its divine connection with the heavens above. This particular print comes from a private collection and has been digitally cleaned for optimal clarity. It originally appeared as an illustration in Robert Brown's book "The World Its Cities and Peoples" published by Cassell around 1885. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to an era when civilizations revered gods and built magnificent structures like these temples to honor them. This engraving serves as a window into history and invites us to appreciate both the artistry and spirituality embodied within this iconic symbol of ancient Egypt.
