EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Pyramid of Khufu and the Sphinx in all their ancient glory. Created by Christian Wilhelm Allers in 1898, this image is a testament to the timeless beauty and grandeur of these Egyptian ruins at Gizeh. The photograph is taken from Allers' book "Rund um die Erde" (Round the Earth), where he not only wrote but also illustrated his travel adventures. The lithograph showcases his artistic talent as well as his deep appreciation for archaeology and history. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene, we are transported back to the 19th century, imagining ourselves standing amidst these awe-inspiring structures that have stood for centuries. The Pyramid of Khufu, also known as the Great Pyramid, stands tall against the backdrop of a vast desert landscape while the enigmatic Sphinx guards its secrets with an air of mystery. This print serves as a reminder of Egypt's rich cultural heritage and its significance as a tourist attraction even during those times. It invites us to explore further into ancient Egyptian civilization through literature, archaeological studies, and our own imagination. With every detail captured in exquisite black and white tones, this print by Christian Wilhelm Allers truly encapsulates the allure and majesty of one of humanity's greatest architectural achievements - a testament to our fascination with history and our desire to connect with civilizations long gone.
