This anonymous black and white photograph, "Piramide van Chefren en de Sfinx van Gizeh", is a striking depiction of the Great Sphinx and the Pyramid of Khafre at Giza, Egypt. Captured between 1875 and 1900, the image offers a glimpse into the grandeur of these ancient monuments. The photographer's use of perspective emphasizes the immense scale of the Sphinx, its enigmatic face partially obscured by the sands of time. The Pyramid of Khafre, standing in the background, serves as a reminder of the pharaohs' power and legacy. This photograph, likely intended for a travelogue or historical publication, embodies the fascination with ancient Egypt during the late 19th century.
