Egypt and Nubia, Volume II: Front Elevation of the Great Temple of Aboo Simbel, Nubia
The image shows a sepia-toned illustration of the front elevation of a temple. Four large stone statues of seated figures with Egyptian-style headdresses are carved into the face of a mountain. The statues are wearing collared tops and have their arms resting on their knees. The statues are facing forward, and their facial features are visible. The mountain face has a recessed area behind the statues with additional carved figures. There are people sitting and standing on the ground in front of and around the statues. A large stone structure with a decorative top is at the top of the mountain face. The background shows a mountainous landscape with steep slopes. The illustration is rendered in a detailed and realistic style.
