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.

Great Capture

This photo is gorgeous. Thank you for providing so many qualitative photos for everyone to see. Bravo!

Large negatives (16" by 20"), portable darkroom, sand, heat, etc.... you have to admire these photographers' dedication to recording the world. It's a long way from taking the 1 hour air conditioned bus tour with your digital point-and-shoot and "get in, get pictures, get out and we will look at the results at the hotel". There is no sense of truly appreciating the sights of the world as did these pioneers.

I visited the relocated temple in February. Less sense of reverence and soul today.

I have an original oil painting by Frank Dillon.....(a contemporary of Frith's)....with this temple as the subject. I believe this is Trajan's Kiosk....commonly known as "Pharoah's Bed". Here a link to another of Frith's photos of this temple.
