Charles Somers Somers-Cocks painted watercolours of ancient ruins during the 1840s, a time when British artists often sketched along the Nile. He captured Temple at Carnak: Thebes between 1842 and 1843, detailing massive stone columns rising above the sandy ground. These sheets were made for travellers who wanted vivid souvenirs of Thebes, then part of Ottoman Egypt. Want to step inside one of those columns? Tap Temple at Carnak: Thebes.
