EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Stepped Pyramid of King Djoser, located in Saqqara, Egypt. Taken around 1890 by Newton & Co, this image transports us back to ancient times when Djoser reigned as the second pharaoh of the 3rd dynasty. Designed by Imhotep, who served as Djosers chancellor, architect, and physician, this pyramid stands as a testament to their ingenuity and skill. The stepped structure rises proudly against the backdrop of the Sahara Desert, its stone architecture reflecting both power and grandeur. As we gaze upon this historic monument, we can't help but marvel at its significance. This burial site holds immense archaeological value and offers a glimpse into the rich history of Ancient Egypt. It symbolizes not only royalty but also serves as a mausoleum for Djoser himself. The image captures more than just an architectural wonder; it reveals glimpses of life during that time period too. In the distance, people go about their daily activities while horses roam freely nearby. These elements add depth to our understanding of how civilization thrived amidst such remarkable structures. Preserved through time on a lantern slide format, this photograph allows us to appreciate the intricate details etched into every step of this pyramid's construction. Its monochrome presentation adds an air of mystery and nostalgia that draws us further into its story. With each glance at this print from Heritage Images' collection curated by The Print Collector29 , we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one of Egypt's most iconic landmarks - a true testament to human achievement and innovation.
