EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library takes us back to the year 1799, during Napoleon's Egypt expedition, where archeologist Denon is seen measuring the Sphinx. The historical significance of this moment is truly remarkable, as we witness the iconic monument in a much better condition than it appears today.
The image captures a sense of wonder and awe as Denon carefully measures the dimensions of the Sphinx, providing valuable insights into its construction and history. The intricate details of the ancient structure are brought to life through this snapshot in time, allowing us to appreciate its grandeur and majesty.
As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to a bygone era when exploration and discovery were at the forefront of human endeavor. The expedition led by Napoleon was not only a military campaign but also a scientific endeavor that sought to uncover the mysteries of Egypt's past.
Today, as we look upon the weathered and worn Sphinx standing proudly amidst modern civilization, we can't help but marvel at its enduring legacy. This print serves as a poignant reminder of our shared history and heritage, inviting us to reflect on the passage of time and our place within it.
