Item. John Beasley Greene was the first Egyptologist who was also a photographer. This print is from his second trip to Upper Egypt to excavate the Mortuary Temple of Ramses III at Medinet Habu and Thebes in Luxor. Greene’s photographs of Egypt emphasize the scale of the sky and the landscape, as if to diminish even the most massive structures. No Known Copyright Title and date devised by Library staff.
