EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a close-up view of an extraordinary moment in ancient Egyptian history. The image showcases the revered symbol of life, the ankh, being offered to Sethos I, the powerful pharaoh of the 19th dynasty. Located within the Temple of Sethos I in Abydos, Egypt, this remarkable relief carving depicts a significant event from the past. The profile portrait of Pharaoh Sethos I is intricately carved and colored with great attention to detail. His regal stature and commanding presence are evident as he holds out his hand to receive this sacred offering. This snapshot into ancient civilization allows us to witness firsthand the rich cultural heritage and religious beliefs that shaped Egyptian society during this period. The archaeological significance of this photograph cannot be overstated. It provides valuable insight into both artistic techniques and historical events that unfolded thousands of years ago. As we explore these remnants from our past, we gain a deeper understanding of human civilization's evolution. Walter Rawlings/Robert Harding has masterfully captured not only a visually stunning image but also a glimpse into our shared global history. Through their lens, they have transported us back in time to experience a pivotal moment within Northern Africa's New Kingdom era
