EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back in time to the Island of Philae, also known as the Sacred Island, located in Nubia. The image was created by an anonymous European School artist during the 19th century and is now part of a private collection. The Island of Philae holds immense historical and cultural significance. It served as a major religious center dedicated to the worship of Isis, one of ancient Egypt's most revered goddesses. This enchanting print allows us to glimpse into this sacred sanctuary that once thrived with spiritual devotion. The intricate details captured by the artist transport us to this mystical place. We can see towering columns adorned with hieroglyphics, reflecting the architectural grandeur that characterized ancient Egyptian temples. The lush greenery surrounding the island adds a sense of tranquility and serenity to its aura. This particular engraving was originally featured in "The Universe" by F. A Pouchet, published in 1906 by Blackie. Its inclusion in this publication aimed to educate readers about different cultures and their historical significance. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of how art has always been a powerful medium for preserving history and sharing knowledge across generations. Through prints like these, we can appreciate not only the artistic skill but also gain insights into distant lands and civilizations that have shaped our world today.
