Philae. (Dahabiehs — at the landing place, under the Hypaethral Temple.) Photographer: Douglas, James
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Landscape Photography
View looking across the channel towards the south-east corner of the island, with boats moored at the landing place on the right, and the hypaethral temple known as the Kiosk of Trajan on the left. Part of the pylon of the Temple of Isis is visible in the background at the extreme left of the photograph. Of the moored boats, the letterpress notes that 'one of these Nile boats is occupied by a party of five English gentlemen, among them is a most enthusiastic Stereoscopist. The other is occupied by an English family in search of health for the father, who is hopelessly paralytic, but who nevertheless is carried on a couch, from ruin to ruin, by a party of his crew. Among travellers in Egypt there are as great diversities in country, in language, and in social position, as there are in education, tastes, habits, and objects in travel...'
