EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to 19th century Egypt, showcasing the iconic Sphinx in all its majestic glory. The English photographer skillfully captures the essence of this ancient wonder, which is part human and part lion, resting peacefully on a rocky terrain. The image is from a private collection and was originally featured as an illustration for "Souvenir of Egypt" by George Ch Dovas in 1898. Look closely at the intricate details; every line etched on the stone tells a story of centuries past. The Great Pyramid looms in the background, adding to the grandeur of this historical sight. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported through time to witness firsthand one of Egypt's most renowned landmarks. The Sphinx's enigmatic expression seems to hold secrets that have been guarded for ages. Its presence evokes a sense of awe and wonderment as we ponder its significance in Egyptian mythology. The inscription near Cheops reveals that it stands an impressive 66 feet tall – a testament to mankind's ability to create monumental structures even during ancient times. This image serves as a reminder of our shared history and showcases the incredible achievements of civilizations long gone. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of history for us all to admire, ensuring that future generations can appreciate the beauty and cultural significance encapsulated within this timeless photograph.
