EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of ancient Egypt in the 19th century. Taken by George Wilson Bridges, it depicts "The Photographer before his Tent on the Site of the Pyramid of Khafre (Chephren)" in 1851. In this self-portrait, Bridges stands proudly before his tent, set against the magnificent backdrop of one of Egypt's most iconic landmarks - the Pyramid of Khafre. The pyramid's grandeur and architectural splendor are beautifully showcased in this image. Bridges' choice to capture this moment in black and white adds a timeless quality to the photograph, emphasizing both the historical significance and artistic beauty of this scene. The monochromatic tones highlight every intricate detail, from the texture of his tent to the weathered stones that make up the pyramid. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a different era - a time when explorers like Bridges ventured into uncharted territories with their cameras as their only companions. This photograph serves as a testament to human curiosity and our desire to document and preserve our world's wonders. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this salted paper print from a paper negative continues to captivate viewers with its Victorian charm. It invites us to reflect on our own place within history while marveling at both man-made structures and natural landscapes that have stood for centuries.
