EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 20th century, showcasing a label from a fez box featuring "The Sphinx and the Pyramids". The vibrant colours of this lithograph bring life to the ancient wonders of Egypt's Gizeh plateau. As we gaze upon this scene, our eyes are drawn to the majestic figure of the Sphinx, standing proudly against the backdrop of a breathtaking sunset over the Nile Valley. Its enigmatic expression seems to hold centuries' worth of secrets within its stone features. Flanking the Sphinx are three iconic pyramids - Mycerinus, Menkaure, and Cheops (also known as Khafre). These monumental structures were built as burial sites for pharaohs during Egypt's fourth dynasty. They stand tall and proud amidst an endless desert expanse. Intriguingly, scattered around these architectural marvels are tribesmen on camels. Their presence adds an element of mystery and adventure to this historic tableau. It is as if they have stepped out from another era, reminding us that ancient civilizations continue to captivate our imagination. This remarkable print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with ancient Egyptian culture. As we admire it today in private collections worldwide, let us be reminded of how art can transport us across continents and millennia – connecting us with distant lands and their rich histories.
