EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the ancient world, capturing the magnificent Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara, near Cairo, Egypt in 1898. The creator of this stunning image is Christian Wilhelm Allers, a talented artist known for his travel illustrations. The Pyramid of Djoser was built over 4,500 years ago in the 27th century BC as a grand burial site for Pharaoh Djoser. This step pyramid stands tall against the desert landscape, showcasing its architectural brilliance and historical significance. Its unique design paved the way for future pyramids in Egypt. In this picture, we see people and donkeys surrounding the pyramid, giving us a sense of scale and perspective. It's fascinating to witness how this ancient wonder attracted tourists even during that time. Allers' lithograph beautifully captures not only the physical structure but also conveys a sense of awe and reverence towards this religious monument. The intricate details highlight Egyptian artistry while emphasizing its importance as both an archaeological treasure and tourist attraction. This photograph from "Rund um die Erde" transports us back to an era when exploration was limited yet filled with wonderment. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and invites us to appreciate the marvels left behind by our ancestors in distant lands like Egypt.
