EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the ancient world of Egypt in 1841. The image showcases the magnificent Temple facade and interior of Edfu, a remarkable archaeological site that still stands today. The artist, Himley, beautifully captures the grandeur and intricate details of this Ptolemaic period temple. The vibrant colors bring life to the scene, highlighting every architectural element with precision. As we gaze upon the photograph, we are transported into a sacred space where gods were worshipped and rituals performed. In particular, Horus, the falcon-headed god associated with kingship and protection, dominates the temple's exterior. Inside, we see remnants of a once-thriving religious sanctuary adorned with hieroglyphics and statues honoring various deities. This lithograph provides us with a rare glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten. Located in Aswan on the banks of the Nile River, Edfu Temple is now partially ruined but still holds immense cultural significance for Egypt. It serves as a testament to their rich history and religious beliefs. Thanks to this print from Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, we can appreciate both its artistic value and historical importance. It allows us to marvel at ancient Egyptian architecture while contemplating our connection to those who came before us.
