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!

What a lovely portrait! I'm probably reading way too much into it, but his face really tells the story of a determined man who has weathered a storm or 50.

Yes... I think if he told me, "Believe or perish!" my first thought would be that HE was the one doing the perishing!

I've never seen a photo of him before - cheerful looking chap!!

May God be praised for this man. People the world over are still being touched by the impact he made on it.

Dr. Livingstone, I presume?

This photograph is part of the Indicommons.org then-and-now feature Ships at the Leith Docks.

The earlier links to recent pictures no longer work. But here's one of a Tall Ships event in 1995.
