EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken by Maxime du Camp in 1850, showcases the majestic Second Pylone du Temple d Isis at Philae. The ancient Egyptian archaeological site is beautifully captured in this image, highlighting the intricate carvings and hieroglyphics that adorn the stone structure. Du Camp's expertise in photography allows us to appreciate the rich heritage of ancient Egypt through his lens. The temple's exterior stands tall against the backdrop of Nubia Egypt, exuding a sense of grandeur and religious significance. In this photograph, a lone man poses near the pylon, providing scale to its immense size. His presence adds a human element to an otherwise deserted location, reminding us of the countless individuals who once worshipped within these sacred walls. The temple itself is dedicated to the goddess Isis and features depictions of various deities such as Horus. Du Camp's skillful composition captures every detail with precision and clarity, allowing viewers to admire both the artistry of ancient Egyptians and his own talent as a photographer. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art today, this salted paper print serves as a testament to Maxime du Camp's contribution to archaeology and our understanding of ancient civilizations. It invites us on a journey back in time while showcasing Egypt's rich cultural heritage for generations to come.
