介绍（中）	这张照片拍摄于埃德福荷鲁斯神庙的大宫廷，照片显示了陪同埃及总督伊斯马西尔·帕夏的儿子们在该国航行的一行成员。埃德夫神庙由托勒密王朝于公元前237年至公元前57年建造，是埃及所有神庙中保存最完好的。它一直埋在沙子里，直到1859年被考古学家奥古斯特·马里埃特清除。人们很容易认出照片中央留着胡子的玛丽埃特，以及左边的欧洲绅士勒格雷本人这张照片是由纸底片制作的最大的照片之一。它的规模强调了法院的宏伟规模，在那里，来访者似乎几乎迷失了方向。当它被制作出来时，纸底片的使用几乎已经被放弃，取而代之的是玻璃板，它产生了更清晰的图像。勒格雷在改进和传播纸质底片技术方面做了很多工作，他是最后一批使用这种技术的人。
介绍（英）	This photograph, taken in the great court of the Temple of Horus at Edfu, shows members of the party accompanying the sons of Egypt's viceroy Ismacil Pasha on their voyage through the country. The Temple of Edfu, built by the Ptolemy dynasty between 237 and 57 B.C., is the best preserved of all Egyptian temples. It had remained buried in the sands until it was cleared by the archaeologist Auguste Mariette in 1859. It is tempting to recognize Mariette in the bearded figure at the center of the picture, and Le Gray himself in the European gentleman on the left. The print is among the largest produced from a paper negative. Its size emphasized the imposing scale of the court, where the party of visitors seems all but lost. By the time it was made, the use of the paper negative had been all but abandoned in favor of the glass plate, which produced a much crisper image. Le Gray, who had done so much to improve and disseminate the technique of the paper negative, was among the last to make use of it.
