EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to ancient Egypt, showcasing two iconic landmarks that have stood the test of time - the Great Pyramid of Cheops and the Sphinx. Captured by an English photographer in the 19th century, this image is a part of a private collection. The Great Pyramid of Cheops, also known as the Pyramid of Khufu, stands tall against the desert backdrop. Built during the Fourth Dynasty around 3730 BC, it is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Its sheer size and architectural brilliance continue to astound visitors even today. Next to it sits another enigmatic figure - The Sphinx. With its lion's body and human head, this mythical creature has fascinated people for centuries. Believed to represent Pharaoh Khafre or his father Khufu, it guards over these ancient grounds with an air of mystery. This photograph was originally featured in "Souvenir of Egypt" by George Ch Dovas in 1898, offering viewers a glimpse into Egypt's rich history and cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable sight through our modern lens, we are reminded once again that these structures were built thousands of years ago with limited technology but boundless ingenuity. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can still appreciate this historic snapshot today without any commercial use restrictions. It serves as a powerful reminder that some things truly stand timeless amidst ever-changing landscapes
