EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of adventure and discovery during the late 19th century as tourists from Europe make their way to the ancient Sphinx in Egypt. Dressed in their finest attire, these intrepid travelers ride atop camels, their faces etched with a mixture of excitement and apprehension as they gaze upon the enigmatic stone guardian. The sun beats down mercilessly upon the arid landscape, casting long shadows across the sand, while the pyramids and other ancient structures loom in the background, silent witnesses to the passage of time. The ethnographic interest in Egypt's rich history and culture was a major draw for tourists during this era, and the country's unique blend of urban and rural landscapes provided ample opportunities for exploration and documentation. The indigenous guides, dressed in traditional garb, lead the tourists through the bustling streets and winding alleys of the nearby town, offering insights into the daily life and customs of the local population. Despite the harsh conditions and the challenges of travel, the allure of Egypt's ancient wonders continued to draw visitors from around the world. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of history and the human spirit's desire to explore new lands and discover new cultures.
