Nubie. Temple et Village de Débôd. Parembole de l'itinéraire d'Antonin 1850

Maxime Du Camp’s 1850 photograph, “Nubie. Temple et Village de Débôd. Parembole de l'itinéraire d'Antonin,” documents the ruins of the Temple of Debod in Nubia, Egypt. This black and white photograph captures the ancient temple, now partially destroyed, in a state of decay, surrounded by the desert landscape. The image provides a glimpse into the past, highlighting the remnants of a once-grand civilization and showcasing Du Camp’s interest in documenting the history of the ancient world. The photograph is currently in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
