The exterior of the temple and portico with their columns. Several men and pack animals are in the foreground.; The photographer's signature is at the lower left corner. There is an attached description: "South-east view of the Temple of Ammon at Koorneh. It was built in the 14th century by Rameses II and his father. The columns stand at uneven intervals, and are curious in form, since the stems which combine to form the shaft are carried only half-way up, but reappear in the capital."; Condition: Good; "Au des commentaires: sans interest[?]"
