EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Felix Teynard transports us back to the ancient city of Karnak in Thebes, Egypt. Taken in 1851-52 and printed in 1853-54, this image showcases a fragment of colonnades from the rear part of the Palais at Karnak Temple. The photograph offers a glimpse into the architectural wonders that once stood tall in this archaeological site. The grandeur of the columns is evident as they stretch towards the sky, standing as a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of ancient Egyptian civilization. Teynard's skillful use of photography adds depth and texture to this scene, emphasizing both the beauty and decay present within these ruins. The play between light and shadow creates an atmosphere that evokes a sense of mystery surrounding these ancient structures. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded not only of Egypt's rich history but also its enduring religious significance. These pillars were once part of a temple where rituals were performed, connecting people with their gods. Now housed within The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this salted paper print allows us to appreciate both Teynard's artistic talent and his dedication to capturing important historical sites for future generations to admire. It serves as a visual reminder that even though time may have worn away at these ruins, their beauty continues to inspire awe and wonder among visitors from around the world who come here seeking connection with our shared human past.
