EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Capital from Philae, Egypt" takes us back to the ancient world with its intricate architectural feature. The image showcases a palm column, believed to date back to either the time of Augustus or Tiberius in the 1st century BC or AD. The photograph is part of a larger collection featured in the book "An Encyclopaedia of Colour Decoration from the Earliest Times to the Middle of the XIXth Century" which was published by Ernst Wasmuth Ltd. in Berlin in 1928. The capital's design is an exquisite example of ancient Egyptian craftsmanship, adorned with foliage and decorative elements that speak volumes about their artistic sensibilities during that era. Its preservation over centuries allows us to appreciate and study this remarkable piece of history today. The unknown creator has captured this archaeological treasure beautifully, highlighting its intricate details and inviting viewers into a world long gone but not forgotten. This photograph serves as a testament to our fascination with ancient civilizations and their enduring legacy. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported through time, imagining ourselves standing amidst these grand structures on Philae Island in Egypt. It reminds us of our connection to those who came before us and encourages us to explore further into the rich tapestry of human history.
