The temple complex is framed by rocky banks and open water, capturing one of ancient Egypt’s most sacred sites before modern alterations. Norden’s depiction predates later 19th-century documentation and is valued for its early and relatively unromanticized portrayal of Philae. The plate combines navigational perspective with architectural clarity. Condition report: Even toning with light scattered spotting. Strong plate impression. Ready for framing. Framing tips: A museum-style mat with a restrained gilt or bronze frame enhances the monumentality. Technique: Copper engraving Maker: Frederik Ludvig Norden, after Marcus Tuscher, Denmark, 1755 See less
