EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time during the late 19th century, as figures of various ethnicities gather at the foot of the iconic Sphinx in Cairo, Egypt. Dressed in traditional clothing, the individuals in this ethnographic scene appear to be locals, offering a glimpse into the diverse cultural fabric of the region during the early tourism era. The Sphinx, an ancient Egyptian guardian statue with the body of a lion and the head of a human, has long been a source of fascination for travelers from around the world. This image, taken in the 1880s or 1890s, showcases the awe and wonder that the Sphinx continues to inspire, as well as the rich tapestry of human history that surrounds it. The vintage aesthetic of the photograph, with its soft focus and muted colors, adds to the sense of nostalgia and intrigue, transporting us back to a time when the world seemed a little more mysterious and exotic. This image is a testament to the enduring allure of Egypt's ancient wonders and the people who have been drawn to them throughout history.
