Dandour, Vue Générale des Ruines 1851 - 1852

"Dandour, Vue Générale des Ruines" is a 19th-century photograph by French photographer Félix Teynard, capturing the ancient ruins of a temple in Dandour, Egypt. Taken between 1851 and 1852, the image shows the partially destroyed temple, surrounded by rocky terrain, emphasizing the stark and desolate landscape of the region. The photograph is a prime example of Teynard's work documenting Egyptian architecture and archeological sites, contributing to the growing field of archaeological photography during that era. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, houses this historical image, showcasing Teynard's photographic record of ancient Egypt.
