EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the Victorian era as we explore this photograph of The Great Hall of Karnak in Egypt. This vintage image, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us to an era of exploration and discovery. The Great Hall of Karnak, also known as the Hypostyle Hall, is an awe-inspiring architectural marvel located in the ancient city of Thebes. Dating back to the New Kingdom of Egypt, this colossal hall is adorned with towering columns, intricate carvings, and hieroglyphics, all paying homage to the gods and pharaohs of ancient Egypt. In this photograph, we see the Great Hall bathed in the soft glow of lantern light, casting elongated shadows on the ancient walls. The Edwardian-era visitors, dressed in their finery, stand in the foreground, capturing the moment on film. The early 20th century technology of the lantern slide adds an extra layer of intrigue, as we imagine the process of projecting this image onto a screen for others to marvel at. The Great Hall of Karnak, with its rich history and grandeur, continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world. This vintage photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, allowing us to experience the wonder and excitement of exploration during the Victorian period.
