EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Vue cavaliere de la seconde cataracte, prise du haut de Djebel-Aboucir, March 24,1850" takes us back to the enchanting landscapes of 19th century Egypt. Captured by Maxime du Camp, a renowned French photographer and writer, this image showcases the breathtaking view from atop Djebel-Aboucir. As we gaze upon this heritage art piece displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are transported to a time when photography was still in its infancy. The salted paper print technique used here adds an ethereal quality to the scene. The photograph captures the majestic River Nile as it cascades through rapids known as the second cataract. The rugged terrain surrounding the river creates a dramatic contrast against its flowing waters. This composition not only highlights the geographical features but also reflects Du Camp's skillful eye for capturing nature's beauty. Du Camp's exploration of Egypt during his travels with Gustave Flaubert resulted in numerous iconic images that have become invaluable historical records today. Through this photograph, he invites us to witness a moment frozen in time - an exquisite blend of natural wonders and human curiosity. With every glance at this remarkable piece of artistry, one can't help but appreciate both Du Camp's artistic vision and his contribution to preserving our collective history through early photography techniques.
