EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the northern part of the Speos D Hathor in Ibsamboul, Nubie. Taken by Maxime du Camp in 1849/51 and printed in 1852, this salted paper print is a remarkable piece from the album "Egypte, Nubie, Palestine et Syrie" (1852). The image transports us to ancient Egypt during the 19th dynasty, specifically Abu Simbel. The colossal figures of Pharaoh Ramesses II dominate the entrance to this monumental structure. Their imposing presence reflects the grandeur and power of this Middle Eastern monarch. Du Camp's attention to detail allows us to appreciate not only the architectural marvels but also the intricate hieroglyphics adorning them. Each symbol tells a story of Egypt's rich history and culture. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of Ozymandias - a concept immortalized by Percy Bysshe Shelley's poem - where even mighty kings eventually succumb to time's relentless passage. This artwork serves as a testament to Du Camp's skill as a photographer and his dedication to capturing historical sites for future generations. It is now preserved at the Art Institute Chicago, serving as an invaluable resource for those seeking insight into ancient Egyptian civilization. Through its monochromatic beauty and meticulous composition, this print invites us on a journey through time while honoring the legacy of these awe-inspiring structures and their significance within our shared human heritage.
