EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the ancient city of Thebes in Egypt, circa 1905. Standing proudly in front of a once majestic temple built by Amenophis III are the magnificent Colossal Memnon statues. These massive sculptures, captured with remarkable detail through stereoscopic photography by Underwood & Underwood, embody the grandeur and power of ancient Egyptian civilization. The imposing figures depict Pharaoh Amenhotep III, also known as Amenophis III, who ruled during the 14th century BC. As religious symbols and guardians of the sacred entrance to the temple, these statues evoke a sense of awe and reverence. Through this monochrome image, we glimpse into a distant era when Egypt was a thriving kingdom under royal rule. The presence of people surrounding the statues reminds us that even after centuries have passed since their creation, they continue to captivate visitors from all over the world. This photograph is part of an extraordinary series called "Egypt Through the Stereoscope" accompanied by insightful text written by James H Breasted. It serves as both a historical record and an artistic testament to Egypt's rich cultural heritage. As we admire this print from Heritage Images' collection curated by The Print Collector, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one of humanity's most enduring architectural wonders - reminding us of our shared history and fascination with ancient civilizations.
