EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Egypt Nubia Volume II Statues Memnon Thebes Inundation" transports us back in time to the ancient city of Thebes during a momentous event - the annual inundation of the Nile River. Captured by Louis Haghe, a British artist known for his exquisite lithographs, this image showcases the grandeur and mystique of Egypt's rich history. The focal point of the composition is undoubtedly the statues of Memnon, towering over their surroundings with an air of majesty. These colossal figures were believed to represent Pharaoh Amenhotep III and were renowned for producing melodic sounds at dawn, adding an element of enchantment to their already awe-inspiring presence. As we gaze upon this scene, we are transported to a time when life revolved around the rhythms and cycles dictated by nature. The flooding depicted here symbolizes renewal and fertility, as it brought nutrient-rich silt that rejuvenated the land and ensured bountiful harvests. David Roberts' original artwork serves as inspiration for Haghe's color lithograph, which beautifully captures every intricate detail with vibrant hues. From the shimmering waters reflecting golden sunlight to delicate nuances in stone carvings, each element comes alive on this print. This piece not only celebrates Egypt's architectural marvels but also pays homage to two talented British artists who dedicated themselves to preserving these wonders through their artistry. It serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with ancient civilizations and reminds us of humanity's
