Ibsamboul, Sculptures de l'Entrée du Spéos de Phrè, Nubie, plate 105 from the album "Egypte, Nubie, Palestine et Syrie" (1852)

Focusing on the monumental entrance sculptures of Abu Simbel, this photograph demonstrates Du Camp's eye for architectural detail and his pioneering role in archaeological photography. The salted paper process lends a warm tonality that emphasizes the weathered texture of the ancient stone carvings.
