EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Great Pyramids of Giza, Egypt, circa 1890. Crafted by the talented artists Newton & Co, this monochrome image transports us back to a time when these ancient wonders stood tall against the desert landscape. Built in the 26th century BC, these pyramids were constructed as eternal resting places for three Pharaohs from the 4th dynasty: Khufu (Cheops), Khafre (Chephren), and Menkaure (Mycerinus). Each pyramid served as a grand mausoleum, symbolizing not only their power but also their belief in an afterlife. The sheer size and architectural brilliance of these structures have made them iconic religious symbols and archaeological marvels. They stand as a testament to the advanced engineering skills possessed by ancient Egyptians. The Pyramids of Giza remain one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, attracting visitors from all corners of the globe. In this photograph's black and white composition, we can appreciate both their grandeur and historical significance. It captures not just a geographical feature but also evokes emotions surrounding death, burial customs, and concepts tied to ancient Egyptian religion. Thanks to The Print Collector's preservation efforts, we are fortunate enough to witness this remarkable piece of history through their lantern slide presentation. Let us cherish this glimpse into our past while honoring those who built these magnificent tombs over four millennia ago.
