Gezicht op de Sfinx van Gizeh en de Piramide van Chefren before 1875

"Gezicht op de Sfinx van Gizeh en de Piramide van Chefren" is a photograph by the British photographer Francis Frith (1822-1898) capturing a view of the Great Sphinx and the Pyramid of Khafre at Giza, Egypt. This image, part of a larger collection documenting his travels, exemplifies the artistic and documentary value of early photography. The composition, focused on the impressive scale of the ancient monuments, offers viewers a glimpse into the allure of Egypt in the 19th century. This photograph, now in the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates Frith's significant contribution to both art and historical documentation.
