A horizontally oriented lithograph depicts the stone interior of an Egyptian temple. Eight colossal statues with crossed arms and tall crowns line a corridor. Four statues stand on the left and four on the right, facing inward with their bases partially buried in light tan sand. In the distance, three small figures stand before a central doorway. Capitalized text at the bottom reads, INTERIOR OF THE TEMPLE OF ABOO SIMBEL.
