Palais de Karnak, Cour des Bubastites et Entrée Principale de la Salle Hypostyle; Thèbes, plate 37 from the album "Egypte, Nubie, Palestine et Syrie" (1852)
1849
Depicting the entrance to Karnak's famous hypostyle hall, this photograph conveys the overwhelming scale that made such a powerful impression on 19th-century European travelers. Du Camp's technical skill preserves both architectural grandeur and intricate decorative details within a single composition.
