Maxime Du Camp's 1849-1850 photograph "Pavillon ou Gynecée de Rhamsès-Meiamoun, à Médinet-habou" captures the crumbling remains of an ancient Egyptian structure. Taken during Du Camp's travels through Egypt, the image showcases the photographer's keen eye for detail, using light and shadow to emphasize the architectural grandeur of the once-majestic building. This evocative black-and-white photograph serves as a powerful testament to the passage of time and the enduring legacy of ancient civilizations. The photograph is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
