EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph captured by Maxime du Camp in the 19th century. This remarkable image takes us back to a time when Egypt's natural beauty was relatively untouched by modern development. The photo depicts the left bank of the Second Cataract on the River Nile, showcasing an enchanting landscape that exudes tranquility and grandeur. The rugged Djebel-Aboucir mountain range dominates the background, its peaks reaching towards the heavens. The rapids of the river cascade through rocky formations with raw power and grace. Maxime du Camp's skillful use of photography enhances our perception of this historical moment frozen in time. The absence of color allows us to focus on intricate details: every ripple in the water, each crevice on the mountainside. It transports us to a different era, inviting contemplation about how much has changed since then. This photograph is not just a testament to Du Camp's artistic prowess but also serves as an invaluable record of Egypt's geographical features during that period. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of their heritage collection, it stands as a reminder of our shared human history and cultural legacy. As we gaze upon this salted paper print, we are transported back to March 25th, 1850 – witnessing firsthand the breathtaking beauty that captivated Maxime
