EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Mr Cope Whitehouses' explorations in the Raian Desert, Egypt during the 19th century. The engraving, created by an English School artist, showcases a remarkable scene filled with historical significance and breathtaking topography. In this image, we are transported to a world of ancient wonders as we witness the companion canal of Joseph winding its way through the arid landscape. Our eyes are drawn towards the magnificent Ancient Temple of Dionysus standing proudly amidst the ruins. As we delve deeper into this visual narrative, we discover remnants of a bathhouse and temple that once thrived in this little oasis. The meticulous attention to detail allows us to appreciate every fragment and architectural feature uncovered by Colonel Ardagh and his team from the Royal Engineers. From Moelleh to Behnesa, Fayoum to Kom El Hanes, their exploration has unveiled hidden treasures scattered throughout this vast desert expanse. As our gaze extends beyond these archaeological marvels, we catch sight of a Coptic monastery nestled within Medinet's embrace. The juxtaposition between ancient ruins and spiritual sanctuaries creates an enchanting contrast that speaks volumes about Egypt's rich history. Through this photo print, Bridgeman Images transports us back in time to experience Mr Cope Whitehouses' extraordinary journey through Egypt's Raian Desert. It serves as a testament not only to his pioneering spirit but also highlights how archaeology can unravel mysteries buried beneath layers of sand for centuries.
