Egypt, Giza, 1913
Abert Kahn’s collection of pictures from around the world really does hold some true masterpieces. This photograph of the Sphinx and the pyramid at Giza is truly breathtaking. The Sphinx is a limestone statue of a reclining sphinx, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human. Facing directly from West to East, it stands on the Giza Plateau on the west bank of the Nile.
