EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, based on a drawing by David Roberts, takes us back to the ancient civilization of Egypt in the 19th century. The scene captured is none other than the breathtaking Island of Philae, situated along the majestic Nile River. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece, we are transported to November 14,1838. The intricate details showcased in this artwork allow us to appreciate the grandeur and architectural brilliance of this island temple. The columns and arches stand tall against the backdrop of palm trees and an azure sky. Every carving tells a story from a time long gone. As we explore every inch of this engraved image, it becomes evident that religion played a significant role in ancient Egyptian society. This place of worship dedicated to Isis holds immense cultural and historical value even today as it stands proudly as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Intriguingly, amidst all its glory lies remnants of old ruins that remind us how time has shaped these structures over centuries. People can be seen faintly in the background, adding depth to our imagination about life during that era. Through Robert's artistic vision and skillful illustration technique, he brings forth not just an image but also emotions associated with travel destinations steeped in history. This print serves as both art and craft while providing us with glimpses into Egypt's rich past - an ode to its ancient Egyptian civilization.
