Edfoo. (Bird's-eye view.) Photographer: Douglas, James
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Archaeological Photography
A view looking down onto the roof of the hypostyle hall, from the top of the pylon of the Temple of Horus at Edfu, with a small portion of the colonnade of the peristyle court visible in the foreground:'The photograph, which gives a bird's-eye view of the whole, being taken from the summit of the eastern tower, shows distinctly the mode of admitting light to the interior, a method far less calculated to heighten the effect than the clerestory windows of the Hypostyle Hall of Karnac.' The lighting referred to is effected by two rectangular openings in the roof of the hall.
