Egypt and Nubia, Volume II: Lateral View of the Temple called The Typhonoeum at Dendera

Louis Haghe

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image is a black and white drawing of an ancient Egyptian temple. The temple has a long, flat roof supported by multiple columns. The columns are thick and have decorative capitals. Some of the columns are standing on the ground, while others are lying on the ground, possibly destroyed or broken. The temple is built into a hillside, with the ground rising up to the right. A person in a white robe is standing in the distance on the left side of the image. There are several large rocks scattered around the temple. The sky is cloudy. The image is sepia-toned and has a beige background. At the bottom of the image, there is a line of text that reads "LATERAL VIEW OF THE TEMPLE CALLED THE TYPHONÆUM AT DENDERAH."
