EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Temple of Kom Ombo in Egypt, captured by the talented artists Newton & Co around 1890. The Temple of Kom Ombo is a remarkable structure consisting of two temples dedicated to Sobek, the crocodile god, and Haroeris, also known as Horus the Elder. Its construction began during the reign of Ptolemy VI Philometer in the 2nd century BC and was expanded upon by his successors. The photograph highlights the temple's impressive architecture with its grand columns and pillars that stand tall against time's passage. It offers a glimpse into ancient Egyptian religious practices and beliefs, as well as their exceptional skills in building monumental structures. The ruins depicted in this image are an archaeological treasure trove that reveals insights into Egypt's rich history. The monochrome presentation adds an air of mystery and nostalgia to this snapshot from the past. As we gaze at this lantern slide print, we can't help but marvel at how it transports us back to a time when Hellenistic influences merged with ancient Egyptian traditions. This visual masterpiece serves as a testament to human ingenuity and artistic expression throughout centuries. Thanks to Heritage Images for preserving such historical gems like this one, allowing us to appreciate our world's cultural heritage through their collection.
