EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of the Kalabsha Temple in Egypt, as it appeared during the Victorian period. This vintage lantern slide, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us to an era of exploration and discovery, when the allure of ancient civilizations drew intrepid travelers from around the world. The Kalabsha Temple, also known as the Temple of Kalabsha or the Temple of Kubbeh, is a magnificent ancient monument located on the Nile River in southern Egypt. Dating back to the Late Ptolemaic and Early Roman periods, the temple is dedicated to the goddess Isis and her husband, the god Mandulis. This photograph, taken during the Victorian era, captures the temple in all its grandeur, with its intricately carved columns and ornate decorations bathed in the warm glow of the setting sun. The image is further enhanced by the use of a lantern slide, a popular medium for projecting photographs during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Victorian period was a time of great fascination with the ancient world, and travel to Egypt was a must for many wealthy Europeans. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to imagine the excitement and wonder felt by those early travelers as they explored the wonders of Egypt and its rich history. Today, the Kalabsha Temple stands as a testament to the enduring allure of ancient civilizations and the power of photography to transport us to distant places and times. This beautiful image is a reminder of the past and a celebration of the human curiosity that drives us to explore the world around us.
