EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the ancient site of Philae in Egypt, captured by artist Charles Emile de Tournemine in 1863. The focal point of the image is Trajan's Kiosk, a remarkable building adorned with intricate reliefs depicting Roman Emperor Trajan making offerings to Egyptian gods Osiris, Isis, and Horus. This architectural marvel stands as a testament to the fusion of Roman and Egyptian cultures during this period. The vibrant colors of the print bring life to the scene, showcasing the beauty and grandeur of this ancient temple complex situated on an island in the River Nile. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we can imagine boats gently gliding through the water as people go about their daily lives amidst these awe-inspiring ruins. The image not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a window into both religious practices and transportation methods of that era. It reminds us of Egypt's rich cultural heritage and its significance as a geographical feature along one of history's most iconic rivers. Preserved within Victoria and Albert Museum's collection in London, this artwork allows us to appreciate Tournemine's skillful portrayal while offering glimpses into centuries-old civilizations that continue to fascinate archaeologists and historians alike.
