EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between 1900 and 1906, showcases the iconic Sphinx monument located in Mt. Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States. The exact creator of this image remains unknown, but it is believed to have been captured by an unidentified photographer during the early 20th century. The Sphinx, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human, has long been a symbol of mystery, wisdom, and guardianship. In this photograph, the Sphinx stands proudly amidst the serene and historic landscape of Mt. Auburn Cemetery, its enigmatic presence adding to the cemetery's rich heritage and cultural significance. The photograph was likely taken using a dry plate or glass negative process, a common photographic technique during the late 1800s and early 1900s. The image, measuring 8 x 10 inches, is a testament to the artistic skill and innovation of the time. The Sphinx at Mt. Auburn Cemetery, created by sculptor Martin Milmore in 1871, has become a beloved landmark and a source of fascination for visitors. Its inclusion in this photograph serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of mythology and the power of art to capture the imagination. This photograph, with its timeless beauty and historical significance, is now part of the vast collection at the Library of Congress, a testament to the importance of preserving our cultural heritage for future generations.
