Nubie. Speos de Sebouah, Pylones.1853-1854. Salted paper print from a waxed paper negative, mounted to board. 23,2 x 30 cm (mount 39,8 x 55,8 cm). Signed and numbered "M. 7" in the negative in lower margin; titled in ink lower left on the mount.

This view records the pylon façade of the temple at Wadi es-Sebua, a Ramesside sanctuary dedicated to Amun-Ra and Ra-Horakhty. Its rigorous frontal composition and broad, unpopulated foreground exemplify Greene’s distinctly modern, archaeological approach to the Egyptian monument.
