EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Tomb of Ptahmose, located in Saqqara near Cairo, Egypt. 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. It allows us to connect with an ancient civilization through his lens – bridging gaps between past and present. Through this powerful image, we are invited on a visual journey that transcends time and space; it encourages us to explore our collective human history while appreciating the beauty found within ancient tombs like Ptahmose’s in Saqqara.
