EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the magnificent Saqqara Step Pyramid, dating back to the 27th century BC. The creator of this image remains unknown, but it was part of an album of postcards from the early 20th century. Located in Saqqara, near Cairo, Egypt, this ancient burial ground stands as a testament to the rich history and archaeological wonders of Ancient Egypt. The Step Pyramid is attributed to Pharaoh Djoser from the Third Dynasty and is considered one of the earliest colossal stone structures ever built. Its impressive size and scale are evident in this monochrome panoramic photograph taken during daylight hours. The desert landscape surrounding it adds to its mystique. As a popular tourist attraction even in those times, people can be seen in the background exploring this historical site. The letterbox format enhances the composition by emphasizing both its grandeur and geographical features. This print serves as a window into a bygone era when travel to such exotic locations was not only possible but also captured on postcards for all to admire. It allows us today to appreciate not only the architectural marvels left behind by ancient civilizations but also their cultural significance that continues to intrigue us centuries later.
