Philae from the north
Adicionar à área de transferência
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.
Philae from the south
