Caption

'The temple of Sethos I, Abydos, Egypt' 1905. 'Sethos never lived to see his temple finished; but, on that wall facing us, behind the pillars, is a long inscription of his son, Ramses II. Ramses tells how he completed the structure; one of the things he did was to wall up five of the seven doors. You can clearly see the masonry filling of the three on this side of the centre.' Stereoscopic card. Detail. From a series called Egypt Through the Stereoscope, text by James H Breasted.
