EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate relief scenes on the temple walls at Karnak, captured by renowned French photographers Henry Cammas and André Lefèvre. The photograph, taken in 1859-1860 and printed in 1862, is an albumen silver print created from a waxed paper negative. The image transports us to the ancient city of Karnak in Egypt, where we witness the remarkable artistry and craftsmanship of its temples. The relief scenes depicted on these walls are nothing short of awe-inspiring. Every detail has been meticulously carved into stone, bringing to life stories from Egyptian mythology and history. Henry Cammas's expertise behind the lens beautifully captures the play of light and shadow on these magnificent reliefs. His composition allows us to appreciate both their grandeur and intricacy simultaneously. Meanwhile, André Lefèvre's collaboration adds depth to this visual masterpiece. As we gaze upon this small but impactful print measuring 8.5 × 11.2 cm (3 3/8 × 4 7/16 inches), our imagination takes flight as we envision ourselves standing amidst these ancient ruins in Paris, France - a testament to human creativity enduring through time.
