Title:

Nubie. Forteresse d'Ibrym (ancienne Premmis). Vue prise au sud. Photographer: Du Camp, Maxime

Scope & Content:

Genre: Archaeological Photography

View looking towards the fortifications at Qasr Ibrim, seen against the skyline at the summit of a sheer-sided hill. The visit to the fort is mentioned in Flaubert's travel notes: 'In the afternoon [of 31 March 1850], reach ancient Ibrim, on the right bank of the Nile. While Max took a picture of the fort from below, I slowly climbed the side of the hill, breaking my toenails on rough stones that had rolled down from above...The interior is an entire city enclosed within walls...The whole ruin gives off an effluvium of fever, and makes you think of bored people dying of marasmus...' (Francis Steegmuller, 'Flaubert in Egypt' (Penguin Books, London, 1996), p. 143). With additional caption note: 'Forteresse construite avec le débris d'un temple égyptien sur lequel on lit encore le cartouche du roi éthiopien Thérac. — Dans l'enceinte, petit temple dénué de sculptures. — Ce fut la forteresse le plus éloignée (en Nubie) des Romains et aussi de sultan Sélim. — Ce dernier y mit une garnison de Bosniaques, ce qui explique la race de Nubiens ayant les yeux bleus qui habite les villages voisins.'
