EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the ancient wonders of Egypt in the 19th century. The artist, CH Smith, beautifully captures two iconic illustrations - The Sphinx and a tomb. These sketches are part of the renowned collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. The image transports us to an archaeological site from Egypt's Old Kingdom, specifically the 4th dynasty around 26th century BC. Against a backdrop of golden sand dunes, we see people climbing up towards a majestic tomb while gazing upon the enigmatic Sphinx. The Great Sphinx stands tall with its lion-like body and human head, exuding an aura of mystery and grandeur. Its weathered features tell tales of centuries past as it guards over this ancient burial ground. Smith's use of pencil and watercolor brings life to this historical scene, capturing both the vibrant colors of Egypt's landscape and the solemnity associated with death and burial rituals. As we admire this print, we can't help but feel a sense of awe for these incredible geographical features that have stood strong through time. It serves as a reminder not only of Egypt's rich history but also our enduring fascination with its cultural heritage.
