EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, taken in 1855 by Lord Wharncliffe and created by an unknown artist, transports us to the ancient wonders of Egypt. The image showcases the entrance to a tomb nestled within the majestic Valley of the Kings near Thebes. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the rich history and cultural significance that lies within these sacred grounds. The Valley of the Kings was a burial site for pharaohs and nobles during Ancient Egypt's New Kingdom era, spanning from 1550-1069 BC. This particular photograph captures not only a glimpse into their final resting place but also provides insight into the stunning natural landscape surrounding it. A donkey stands nearby, perhaps symbolizing both life and death as it grazes amidst rocky terrain. The cliffs tower above like silent sentinels guarding secrets lost to time. Every color in this lithograph seems carefully chosen to evoke a sense of mystery and awe. Lord Wharncliffe's meticulous attention to detail allows us to appreciate every nuance captured within this image - from the intricate carvings on the tomb's entrance to the rugged texture of each rock formation. It serves as a testament to his passion for archaeology and dedication towards preserving historical treasures through art. As we admire this nineteenth-century masterpiece, let us reflect on our own mortality while marveling at humanity's enduring quest for immortality through grand mausoleums such as these. This lithograph is more than just an artistic representation; it is an invitation
