PART OF THE HALL OF COLUMNS AT KARNAK, SEEN FROM WITHOUT.

THIS subject represents in another point of view the appearance of this forest of columns as seen from without, and transversely. The vast pillars which form the centre avenue are hidden by the external ranges of columns; the two rows next to the centre avenue were surmounted with square frames of stone, that, together with the central columns, supported there the loftiest roof of this prodigious structure, and admitted light into the hall. Here the confusion in which these vast masses have fallen, or been propped by others which are still erect, is extraordinary, and is shewn with great effect; and, endless as are the points of view presented by the ruins of this the most striking temple in the world, none is more effective or characteristic than this vignette selected by Mr. Roberts.
