EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a bas-relief taken from the western wall of the grand Temple of Isis in Philae, Egypt. The image was captured by Maxime du Camp in April 1850, showcasing his passion for archaeology and ancient Egyptian art. The intricate carving on the stone sculpture is beautifully highlighted against the stark contrast of black and white. Du Camp's expertise in photography allows us to appreciate every detail of this archaeological site with precision. The hieroglyphics adorning the relief tell stories of ancient religious beliefs and practices, transporting us back to a time when these temples were bustling centers of worship. The photograph provides an intimate glimpse into the interior decoration and design of this sacred space. It serves as a testament to Du Camp's dedication to preserving heritage art through his lens. This particular piece showcases his talent for capturing not only physical structures but also the essence and spirituality that emanate from them. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this salted paper print continues to inspire awe among visitors who are transported back in time through its powerful imagery. Du Camp's work stands as a testament to France's rich history with Egyptology, further solidifying his place as one of the pioneers in archaeological photography during the 19th century.
