EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back in time to the ancient wonders of Egypt. The image showcases the majestic Sphinx and the Pyramid of Chephren, also known as the Second Pyramid. Taken around 1904-05 by an English photographer, this print beautifully captures the landscape's arid beauty. The Sphinx, a magnificent sculpture with the body of a lion and head of a human, stands proudly in front of its neighboring pyramid. The Pyramid of Chephren, built during Egypt's Old Kingdom period by King Khafre (Chephren), dominates the backdrop with its impressive size and architectural grandeur. As we gaze at this print from a private collection, we are transported to a world filled with history and mystery. The ruins speak volumes about ancient Egyptian civilization and their mastery in constructing monumental tombs for their pharaohs. The desert setting adds an air of solitude and serenity to this scene. Cairo's Gizeh region serves as the perfect backdrop for these iconic structures that have stood tall for centuries. Through this photograph, we can appreciate not only the skillful craftsmanship but also marvel at how these ancient wonders have endured through time. It is a testament to human ingenuity and our fascination with preserving history. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece that allows us to explore one of humanity's greatest achievements –the pyramids– from wherever we may be standing today.
