EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in c1890 by Newton & Co, showcases the awe-inspiring Colossi of Memnon in Luxor (Thebes), Egypt. These colossal twin statues depict the mighty Pharaoh Amenhotep III, who reigned during the 14th century BC as part of the 18th dynasty of Ancient Egypt. Standing proudly in front of his mortuary temple, which unfortunately no longer exists due to its destruction over time, these magnificent sculptures exude a sense of power and grandeur. The sheer size and intricate craftsmanship make them an architectural marvel even today. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era when kings ruled with divine authority. The ruins surrounding the statues serve as a reminder of the passage of centuries and evoke a feeling of mystery and wonder. The photographer's use of monochrome adds depth to this historical snapshot, emphasizing both the strength and fragility inherent in ancient civilizations. It is through such prints that we can appreciate not only the artistic prowess but also gain insights into significant archaeological sites like Luxor and Karnak. This print from Heritage Images allows us to immerse ourselves in Egyptian history while paying homage to one of its most iconic rulers. Let us cherish this glimpse into our past as it reminds us that even great empires eventually succumb to time's relentless march forward.
