EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures the mesmerizing view from under the portico of the Temple of Edfou in Upper Egypt. Taken in 1846 by renowned artist David Roberts, this print showcases the architectural beauty and historical significance of ancient Egyptian civilization. The temple's grandeur is evident as towering pillars stretch towards the heavens, creating a sense of awe and reverence. The intricate details carved into each column tell stories of a rich religious tradition that has withstood the test of time. As we gaze upon this scene, we are transported back to a bygone era when Apollinopolis Magna (modern-day Edfu) was a bustling center for worship and spiritual enlightenment. The ruins that surround us serve as reminders of an illustrious past, inviting us to ponder on the mysteries that lie within these sacred walls. Through his masterful artistry, David Roberts brings this ancient world to life once more. His attention to detail and skillful use of light and shadow create an atmosphere that is both hauntingly beautiful and deeply contemplative. This lithograph serves as a window into history, allowing us to appreciate not only the artistic achievements but also the cultural significance of ancient Egypt. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity and reminds us that even after centuries have passed, our connection with our ancestors remains strong.
