EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Bicentenary of the Kings Own Scottish Borderers, the Sphinx under a New Aspect" transports us back to the 19th century. Taken by an English photographer, this print captures a momentous occasion in history. The image showcases the majestic Sphinx in Egypt, but with a unique perspective that offers viewers a fresh look at this iconic monument. The photograph was commissioned for The Illustrated London News and was published on March 23rd, 1889. It commemorates the bicentenary of the Kings Own Scottish Borderers, a renowned military unit known for their bravery and loyalty to their king. This historic event is beautifully captured through the lens of photography. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to ancient Egypt, where time seems to stand still. The grandeur of the Sphinx is magnified as it looms large against an expansive sky. Its weathered features tell tales of centuries gone by and evoke feelings of awe and wonder. This photograph not only serves as a visual record but also highlights the power of photography as an art form. Through careful composition and expert use of light and shadow, the English photographer has created an enduring piece that captivates our imagination. In this print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded that even timeless monuments can be seen under new aspects when viewed through different lenses – both literally and metaphorically speaking.
