EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the ancient wonders of Egypt. The Great Sphinx, an enigmatic monument believed to have been built during the reign of Pharaoh Khafre in 2558-2532 BC, stands tall against the backdrop of the Sahara Desert. This monolithic statue, carved out of limestone, has fascinated historians and explorers for centuries. The image captures the scale and grandeur of this mythical creature with its lion's body and human head. Its weathered features tell tales of a bygone era as it silently guards over the Giza plateau. A lone man standing beside it provides perspective on just how massive this historic landmark truly is. This print comes from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" a renowned book by Edmund Ollier published in 1890. It serves as a visual testament to Egypt's rich history and cultural heritage. The intricate engraving showcases every detail meticulously captured by an unknown creator. As we gaze upon this timeless piece of art, we are transported back thousands of years into ancient Egypt—a time when pharaohs ruled and monumental structures like the Great Sphinx were erected. Let this photograph serve as a reminder of our connection to our past and inspire awe for the ingenuity and craftsmanship that shaped civilizations long ago.
