EDITORS COMMENTS
The year is 1874, and a group of British tourists have decided to take their picnic to new heights - quite literally. In this fascinating print titled "Picnic on the Pyramids," we see these adventurous travelers perched on the summit of the Great Pyramid in Egypt, much to the astonishment of the locals below.
This image captures a moment in history where cultural boundaries were being pushed and traditions were being challenged. The sight of foreigners enjoying a leisurely meal atop one of the world's most iconic structures must have been both bewildering and intriguing for those who called Egypt home.
The juxtaposition of British tourists casually dining against the ancient backdrop of the pyramids serves as a reminder of our ever-evolving relationship with history and heritage. It prompts us to question notions of ownership, access, and respect when it comes to sacred sites like these.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from over a century ago, we are reminded that travel has always been about more than just seeing new places - it's about engaging with different cultures, pushing boundaries, and expanding our understanding of the world around us. And sometimes, it involves having an unforgettable picnic on top of a pyramid.
