View of the remains of the Roman temple of Dendur, in its original location, dedicated to Isis, Osiris and two deified sons of a local Nubian ruler, Pihor and Pedesi. Due to the temple’s risk of submersion after the construction of the Aswan Dam and the rising Lake Nasser, it was removed in 1963 and then donated by the egyptian government to the United States for their aid and assistance in saving the Nubian temples and documenting the area. Today it is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (The MET), New York. The author's signature is at the bottom right.
