EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing ancient ruins of Esneh (Latopolis), a significant archaeological site in Egypt. Taken by French photographer Felix Teynard in 1851-52, this image showcases the exterior wall and cornice of a temple that has been partially buried under sand over time. The intricate sculptures adorning the structure are still visible, despite the ravages of time. Teynard's expertise in capturing landscapes is evident in this photograph, as he skillfully portrays the vastness of the Egyptian countryside surrounding Esneh. The stark contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the image, emphasizing both the grandeur and decay of these historic ruins. As we gaze upon this salted paper print from 19th century Africa, we are transported back to an era when religion played a central role in Egyptian society. These ruins stand as a testament to ancient Egyptian civilization and its rich cultural heritage. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this photograph serves as a window into history - allowing us to appreciate not only Teynard's artistic vision but also providing valuable insights into Egypt's past. It reminds us that even amidst ruin and decay, there is beauty to be found – an enduring reminder of our collective human legacy.
