EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, hailing from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the enigmatic land of Egypt during the Victorian period. The image showcases the awe-inspiring Stepped Pyramid of Saqqara, an architectural marvel that has stood the test of time for over 4,500 years. Located in the ancient necropolis of Saqqara, this pyramid is a unique departure from the more famous, smooth-sided pyramids of Giza. Dating back to the Old Kingdom, around 2680 BC, this stepped structure was believed to have been built as a tomb for Pharaoh Djoser, the second pharaoh of the First Dynasty. The photograph, taken during the Victorian era, captures the essence of early exploration and fascination with ancient civilizations. The image is framed by a rustic, wooden lantern slide, adding to its antique charm. The intricate details of the pyramid's stepped design are accentuated by the soft, warm light emanating from the lantern, creating a mesmerizing contrast against the clear, blue sky. The Stepped Pyramid of Saqqara is not only a testament to the architectural prowess of the ancient Egyptians but also a symbol of the enduring allure of Egypt's rich history. This photograph serves as a beautiful reminder of the intrepid spirit of explorers and scholars who journeyed to Egypt during the Victorian period, driven by their insatiable curiosity and desire to unravel the mysteries of the ancient world.
