Sculptures sur la façade postérieure du grande Temple de Dendérah (Tentyris) 1849 - 1850

This photograph, taken by Maxime Du Camp in 1849-1850, captures a section of the rear facade of the Temple of Dendera in Egypt. It features a relief carving depicting a procession of figures, likely deities or priests, with intricate hieroglyphics surrounding them. Du Camp, a renowned photographer and writer, documented his travels through Egypt, and this image exemplifies his interest in capturing the ancient world through the lens of photography. The photograph, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, provides a valuable glimpse into Egyptian art and architecture.
