EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring Colossal Statues at Thebes, taken in 1890 by an unknown creator. These magnificent statues are known as the Colossi of Memnon, crafted from quartzite sandstone during the reign of Pharaoh Amenhotep III in the 14th century BC. Standing tall in the Theban Necropolis, these colossal figures depict Pharaoh Amenhotep III seated on his throne. Despite their age and weathered appearance, they exude a sense of grandeur and power that echoes through time. This photograph was featured in "Cassells Illustrated Universal History". Volume I - Early and Greek History, authored by Edmund Ollier. The image captures a moment at dusk when the statues are backlit against the evening sky. Their imposing size dominates the landscape, evoking a profound sense of ancient Egyptian history and culture. As we gaze upon this engraving from over a century ago, we cannot help but be transported to another era. Located near Luxor's Karnak temple complex, these statues serve as eternal guardians of Egypt's rich heritage. They stand as testament to a civilization long gone but never forgotten—a reminder of our human capacity for artistic expression and monumental achievements. This monochrome depiction invites us to contemplate not only their physical presence but also their symbolic significance—representing both life and death within Egypt's burial traditions. It is an extraordinary piece that allows us to connect with history while marveling at its timeless beauty.
