Classic!!!!!

Hi, this photo has been mentioned in a discussion thread in the Flickr Commons group, and we'd love to have this added to the group pool!

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

As seen in 2008



In the matter of the missing nose, take a look here.

wow, great to have the chance to see it the way it was when found out! thx!

so wonderful to see these images from days long gone

It is interesting to see this photographic documentation of the late 19th century roots of what we in America now think of as an Appalachian ribbed melon basket. No doubt this functional rib framed basket type has even earlier origins. It is a basketmaking tradition which Scottish basket makers most likely brought with them as they immigrated to America. Thank you for posting it.

so beautiful the picture and the girl....who was her, how was her life????????????????

She looks happy...

cute girl

The kid clearly moved instead of staying still for the photo!

This has happened I think to all of us trying to capture children. They move and you end up with an image much like this one. What an honor it is to view these images from the 1800's. So impressed with the quality and integrity of the images taken over a hundred years ago.

How many of our photos will be around in a hundred year's time?

So happy I'm not the only one with a child that moves during picture's. But even beyond that the expressions on their faces tell the story as well.
