Lantern slide. Showing the west colonnade at the temple of Nectanebus at the south end of the Island of Philae. This photograph was taken by Sgt. Johnson of the 436 Welsh Field Company c. 1917. It formed part of a lecture which he gave. The notes from his lecture read 'The thirtyone columns here with fine capitals still support parts of the roof, decorated with vultures with spread wings and stars, while the outer wall decorated with numerous reliefs is mainly intact. Toward the north end of the Colonnade is a well preserved inscription on the wall which states that a certain Ammonius fulfilled a vow made to Isis, Serapis and other gods by presenting to them the worship of his brother and children in the Thirty-first year of Caesar Augustus. Beneath the colonnade is a passage descending to the water which was used as a Nilometer.' This is a similar view to negative EC1705 and to EC1714.

Lantern slide. Showing the Temple of Isis and 'Kiosk of Trajan' Island of Philae. This photograph was taken by Sgt. Johnson of the 436 Welsh Field Company c. 1917. It formed part of a lecture which he gave. The notes from his lecture read 'Just to the south east of this temple is the famous Kiosk sometimes called Pharaohs Bed. Fourteen Pillars with floral capitals support the architrave which on the outside is decorated with a concave cornice. Wide doorways on the East and West ends admit one to the Kiosk and there is a smaller one on the north side. The pavement of the Kiosk does not now exist and perhaps it was never laid down . The only two reliefs show Trajan burning incense before Wenefer and Isis, and offering wine to Isis and Horus. On the east side of the Kiosk the terrace still exists and originally this seems to have been walled in thus forming another chamber.' The Trajan Kiosk is shown on the right of the picture. The main enterance to the temple of Isis is on the left. The view is taken from the south-east. This is a similar view to EC1717 and EC1719.
