EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the ancient city of Louksor (Thebes) in 19th century Egypt. The image showcases the impressive architecture of Construction Anterieure, specifically the towering Pylone Colosses et Obelisque. Captured by French photographer Felix Teynard in 1851-52, this archaeological site is a testament to the rich history and heritage of ancient Egypt. The photograph transports us to a time when religion played a significant role in Egyptian society, as evidenced by the religious symbolism depicted through these ruins. The salted paper print technique used by Teynard adds an ethereal quality to the image, enhancing its timeless appeal. As we gaze upon this scene, we are reminded of the grandeur and majesty that once defined Luxor (also known as Louksor), attracting tourists from all over the world even during that era. This tourist attraction continues to captivate visitors today with its awe-inspiring temples and historical significance. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this photograph serves as a window into both ancient Egyptian civilization and 19th-century photography techniques. It allows us to appreciate not only Teynard's artistic vision but also his dedication to documenting cultural landmarks for future generations. Through this remarkable piece of art, we can immerse ourselves in the beauty and mystique of Louksor while paying homage to those who came before us – leaving behind their architectural marvels as reminders of their once-thriving civilization
