Egypt and Nubia, Volume II: Temple of Dandour, Nubia

Louis Haghe

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a black-and-white illustration of an ancient stone structure with four visible columns. The structure is rectangular and made of stone blocks. The columns are on the front of the structure and have decorative capitals. There is a large opening between the central pair of columns leading to a dark passageway with another opening at the back. The passageway gets progressively darker from front to back. There are small figures of people standing around the structure. The surrounding landscape shows a flat area in front of the structure and hills to the sides and back. The sky is light-colored and featureless. The illustration has a sepia tone. The structure stands on a raised platform. The illustration includes a title at the bottom reading "TEMPLE OF DANDOUR, NUBIA". The illustration is framed by a white border.
