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.
