EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sphinx 1853" by John Beasley Greene takes us back in time to the ancient wonders of Egypt. The American photographer, born in 1832 and tragically passing away at a young age in 1856, managed to capture the enigmatic allure of one of Egypt's most iconic landmarks. The image, printed on salted paper from a waxed paper negative, showcases the Sphinx with remarkable clarity and detail. Standing tall against a clear blue sky, this majestic creature exudes an aura of mystery and grandeur. Its weathered features tell stories that have spanned centuries, leaving viewers in awe of its timeless beauty. Measuring at 23.2 x 29.6 cm (9 1/8 x 11 5/8 in. ), this photograph is mounted on a larger frame measuring at 39.8 x 56.5 cm (15 11/16 x 22 1/4 in. ) and matted at an impressive size of50.8 x61 cm (20x24in. ). This presentation enhances the impact of the image, allowing viewers to immerse themselves fully into Greene's vision. While we may never truly comprehend all the secrets held within these ancient stones, John Beasley Greene has given us a glimpse into their power through his artistry and technical skill as a photographer. His work serves as a testament to both his talent behind the lens and his deep appreciation for history's enduring treasures. Please
