EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "AVQ-A-004137-0089" we are transported back in time to the mesmerizing land of Egypt. The image captures an iconic scene featuring the Sphinx and pyramids, symbols that have come to define the rich history and mystique of this ancient civilization. Dating back to 1907, this photograph allows us a glimpse into a bygone era, where explorers like Frst Lwoff ventured into uncharted territories armed with their cameras. The black and white composition adds a timeless quality to the image, emphasizing its historical significance. The focal point of the photograph is undoubtedly the Sphinx, an enigmatic hybrid figure with the body of a lion and head of a human. Standing proudly against the backdrop of majestic pyramids in Giza, it exudes an aura of power and wisdom that has fascinated scholars for centuries. As we delve deeper into Egyptian mythology through this artwork, we are reminded of female characters who played significant roles in literature and fiction from that era. Their stories intertwine with legends surrounding sphinxes – mythical creatures known for their riddles – creating an intriguing tapestry woven between reality and imagination. Eugen Frst Lwoff's keen eye for detail transports us directly to Egypt - Giza; his mastery behind the lens immortalizes these awe-inspiring structures forever. This print serves as both a visual feast for our eyes and a gateway into exploring one of humanity's most fascinating civilizations. Let this remarkable piece transport you on an imaginary journey through time as you contemplate not only its aesthetic beauty but also ponder upon the mysteries concealed within those ancient stones.
