EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, taken by the talented French photographer Felix Bonfils in the late 19th century, transports us back to the mystical land of ancient Egypt. The image showcases the iconic Pyramids of Giza and their enigmatic guardian, the Sphinx. Bonfils masterfully captures the grandeur and scale of these architectural wonders against a vast desert landscape. The pyramids rise majestically towards the heavens while standing as testaments to human ingenuity and perseverance. Their weathered stones tell stories of an ancient civilization that thrived thousands of years ago. Intriguingly, amidst this awe-inspiring scene stands a lone male figure gazing at these mythical structures with wonderment. His presence adds a sense of perspective, emphasizing both their immense size and enduring allure for visitors from around the world. The photograph not only serves as a visual record but also highlights Bonfils' artistic prowess in capturing intricate details through his albumen silver print technique. Every crevice on the Sphinx's face is visible, revealing its timeless beauty and mystery. As we admire this remarkable piece from Félix Bonfils' collection housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are reminded of our shared fascination with ancient civilizations and their contributions to humanity's cultural heritage. This photograph invites us to embark on a journey through time - immersing ourselves in mythological
