Dromos du Temple de Sébona 1850

"Dromos du Temple de Sébona" is a salted paper print from an album of photographs taken by Maxime du Camp during his travels in Egypt in 1850. This photograph, like many of his other works from this period, depicts an ancient Egyptian temple in the stark desert landscape, highlighting the archaeological discoveries of the era. The composition is symmetrical, drawing the viewer's eye to the monumental temple entrance and its surrounding figures, and showcasing the artist's keen eye for detail and composition. This photograph is a testament to du Camp's contributions to the field of photography, and it remains a valuable historical document of ancient Egyptian architecture.
