EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a mesmerizing view of Egypt's iconic Sphynx and Second Pyramid. The image, taken by an English photographer, showcases the historical significance of these ancient wonders. The Sphynx, with its enigmatic expression and majestic presence, stands tall in the foreground. Its weathered features tell tales of centuries gone by, while its timeless allure continues to captivate visitors from around the world. Behind it looms the impressive Second Pyramid, attributed to King Chephren of the Fourth Dynasty. Measuring a staggering 450 feet in height, this architectural marvel is a testament to the ingenuity and skill of ancient Egyptian civilization. Dating back to approximately 3660 BC, it has witnessed countless generations pass through its shadowy corridors. This evocative photograph was originally featured as an illustration for "Souvenir of Egypt" by George Ch Dovas in 1898. Preserved within a private collection today, it serves as a visual time capsule that transports us back to an era when explorers embarked on grand adventures across distant lands. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded not only of Egypt's rich history but also our own fascination with ancient civilizations that have left their indelible mark on humanity's collective memory.
