EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Philae, c. 1860-80" takes us back in time to the sacred island of Philae in Lake Nasser, Egypt. The photographer behind this remarkable image is Antonio Beato (1832-1906), an Italian artist whose lens captured the essence of ancient Egyptian architecture. Philae Island was once home to the tomb of Osiris, making it a revered place for the Ancient Egyptians who constructed numerous buildings there. However, as progress brought about challenges, UNESCO made a crucial decision in 1960 to relocate these historic structures to the nearby Island of Agilkia due to rising water levels caused by the Aswan Low Dam's construction. In this photograph, we witness a moment frozen in time—a testament to both Beato's skillful eye and his dedication to preserving history through his artistry. The ruins of temples dedicated to Isis stand proudly amidst their surroundings on Philae Island. Their weathered exteriors bear witness to centuries gone by and evoke a sense of awe at the architectural prowess displayed by our ancestors. As we gaze upon this image from Bridgeman Images' private collection today, we are reminded not only of Egypt's rich cultural heritage but also of humanity's enduring fascination with capturing moments that transcend time itself.
