EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut takes us back to the 1880s, offering a glimpse into the excavation of ancient Egyptian structures beneath the Sphinx at Ghizeh. The image transports us to a time when archaeology was still in its infancy, and this particular expedition was on the cusp of uncovering remarkable artifacts that would rewrite history books. The scene is filled with an air of anticipation as archaeologists, both native Egyptians and foreigners alike, meticulously dig through layers of sand and debris. Their traditional attire blends seamlessly with the historic surroundings, creating a harmonious fusion between past and present. As we observe this archaeological dig unfold before our eyes, it becomes evident that every stroke of their tools holds immense significance. Each discovery made in these sacred grounds brings them closer to unraveling Egypt's enigmatic past. The majestic Sphinx stands tall in the background, silently witnessing this meticulous process. Its weathered features seem to hold secrets yet untold; secrets that will soon be unearthed by these dedicated explorers. This vintage print not only captures a pivotal moment in Egyptology but also serves as a testament to humanity's insatiable curiosity about our ancestors' lives. It reminds us of how far we have come since those early days of exploration while igniting our own sense of wonder for what lies buried beneath the sands even today.
