Philae from the north

Edwards MSS 5.2
Item

Part of Amelia Ann Blanford Edwards Collection

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.
