EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the grandeur of ancient Egypt. Captured in 1905 by Underwood & Underwood, it showcases the middle aisle of the great hall and the majestic obelisk of Thutmosis I at the temple in Karnak, Thebes. The image reveals a scene that is both awe-inspiring and hauntingly beautiful. The first two columns on each side bear signs of repair with rough masonry, hinting at the passage of time and the enduring nature of this architectural wonder. However, it is the four nearly perfect columns on the right that truly capture our attention. They stand tall and proud, showcasing an Egyptian architect's mastery in expressing grandeur and somber beauty through their design. Through stereoscopic photography, we are transported into this sacred space where religion meets artistry. Hieroglyphics adorn these towering pillars, telling stories from a distant era. The debris scattered around reminds us that even mighty structures like these can succumb to ruin over time. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we cannot help but feel a sense of reverence for ancient Egypt's rich history and religious practices. This print serves as a window into a world long gone yet forever preserved through artistry and documentation.
