EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the majestic beauty of the Khasneh Phar aun, also known as the Pharaohs Treasury, a remarkable rock-cut structure located in Petra, Jordan. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases intricate details and architectural mastery. The Khasneh Phar aun stands tall and proud against the backdrop of Petra's rugged landscape. Carved directly into the rose-colored sandstone cliffs, it is a testament to ancient craftsmanship and engineering prowess. The elaborate facade features ornate columns, statues, and intricate carvings that tell stories of a bygone era. As sunlight filters through its delicate arches and intricately carved patterns, one can't help but be transported back in time to when this treasury served as a mausoleum for an important Nabatean king or queen. Its grandeur evokes awe and wonderment among all who lay eyes upon it. This lithograph was originally published in The Illustrated London News on July 29th, 1899. It serves as both a historical record of this magnificent site and a reminder of humanity's ability to create enduring works of art that withstand the test of time. Now preserved within private collections worldwide, this print allows us to appreciate not only the skillful artistry captured by English School artists but also invites us to explore our own sense of curiosity about ancient civilizations like those who once called Petra home.
