Taken in 1859 by French photographer Theodule Deveria, this albumen silver print from a paper negative captures the ancient Egyptian burial site with remarkable detail. The image transports us back to the 13th century BC, offering a glimpse into the rich heritage and archaeological wonders of Upper Egypt. The tomb's mausoleum stands proudly amidst the necropolis, its hieroglyphic inscriptions telling stories of life and death that have fascinated historians for centuries. Deveria's skillful composition emphasizes both the grandeur and serenity of this sepulchral monument. The play between light and shadow adds depth to every intricate detail carved into its stone walls. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of our own mortality while marveling at the enduring legacy left behind by those who came before us. Displayed within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this photograph serves as a testament to Deveria's dedication to capturing historical sites across Africa during his time.
