    I think i'm right in saying that this was before the sphinx was excavated a bit (because we can't see its legs) and before it was damaged some more by troops using it as target practice in the war

    John Brown was the servant who became close to Queen Victoria after the death of Prince Albert. Their relationship was the subject of the 1997 movie "Mrs. Brown," starring Dame Judi Dench and Billy Connolly. "Much gossip attached to the unlikely relationship and much animosity generated by those who resented the trust placed in the 'low-born' Brown by the Queen. The Queen refused to desert Brown because of the scandalous talk - which she dismissed as 'ill-natured gossip' " From the Royal Deeside website: John Brown, Faithful Servant to Queen Victoria --

    Wow, i'd never seen a photo of John Brown before, only heard the story.
  • Madame Maracas said:
    He looks as though his glare could melt the film, as if the photographer is intruding. Which I guess would fit the story as we know it.
  • caoseducado said:
    To see these two! It is totally a smashing photograph!
