EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the Universal Exhibition at the Champ-deMars in Paris on November 16,1867. The image showcases a magnificent model of the Temple of Edfu, meticulously crafted by an English School artist from the 19th century. Housed within the prestigious Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, this engraving captures a moment of awe and fascination during an era when Egyptomania was sweeping across France. Intrigued visitors, dressed in elegant Victorian costumes, gather around this architectural masterpiece that stands proudly amidst a bustling avenue of sphinxes. The couple in focus epitomizes fashion-forward sophistication as they admire the exhibit with great admiration. This grand pavilion represents not only a symbol of artistic excellence but also serves as a testament to French ingenuity during the Second Empire. The photograph transports us back to a time where world fairs were highly anticipated events that showcased cultural diversity and technological advancements. As tourists flock from all corners of Parisian society to witness this marvel firsthand, it becomes evident how deeply rooted Egyptian influences had become within European art and architecture. Jacqueline Hiegel's expertly captured image allows us to appreciate both the intricate details of this temple replica and its impact on contemporary fashion trends. It is through such historical artifacts that we can unravel stories about our collective past while celebrating human creativity and curiosity for exploration.
