EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Great Sphinx of Giza in all its ancient glory. Created by Newton & Co in the late 19th century, this portrait statue depicts the 4th dynasty Pharaoh Khafre (Chephren) in the form of a mythical creature known as a sphinx – with a powerful lion's body and a human head. Dating back to the 26th century BC, this iconic monument stands as a testament to Egypt's rich history and architectural prowess. Behind the Sphinx looms the awe-inspiring Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops), serving as a reminder of Khafre's lineage and royal heritage. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of mystery to this archaeological site, transporting viewers back in time to when pharaohs ruled over ancient Egypt. The intricate details on both the Sphinx and pyramid showcase remarkable craftsmanship that has stood against centuries of erosion and decay. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded not only of Egypt's past greatness but also our own mortality. The concept of death is ever-present within these burial grounds, where pharaohs sought eternal rest within their monumental mausoleums. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an educational tool for those fascinated by archaeology. It allows us to appreciate the beauty and grandeur that once graced these ancient lands while igniting our curiosity about civilizations long gone.
