EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Heliopolis Obelisk in Egypt, taken by renowned artist Felix Bonfils in 1878. Standing as the oldest surviving Ancient Egyptian obelisk, this remarkable structure dates back to the reign of Pharaoh Senusret I from the 12th Dynasty, ruling between 1971 and 1926 BC. Originally erected as a commemoration for Senusret's Heb Sed (30th Jubilee), this obelisk is one of a pair that stood tall in ancient times. The intricate hieroglyphics adorning its surface tell stories of ancient rituals and celebrations. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back through time to witness an extraordinary moment frozen within history. Bonfils' skillful use of monochrome enhances the sense of antiquity and grandeur surrounding this architectural marvel. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to every line etched into its stone surface. The image not only showcases the beauty and craftsmanship of Ancient Egyptian architecture but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity across centuries. It reminds us that even after thousands of years, these structures continue to captivate our imagination with their timeless allure. As we stand before this magnificent relic captured by Bonfils' lens, we can't help but feel humbled by the enduring legacy left behind by civilizations long gone.
