Watercolour in its original mount, showing the temples on Philae Island, viewed from the north-west.
The watercolour is captioned on the mount, once below the watercolour and again on the verso. The captions are both the same but are written in two different hands: "Philæ from the North."
Although the watercolour is not signed, it was most certainly painted by Amelia A. B. Edwards.

Amelia Edwards, who resided with Mrs Braysher from 1864(?) onwards, was the beneficiary of Braysher's estate.
