EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment in history - mid-19th century tourists fearlessly ascending the majestic Great Pyramid of Giza with the invaluable assistance of local guides. The Great Pyramid, also known as the Pyramid of Khufu or Cheops, stands proudly within the Giza pyramid complex, just outside Cairo, Egypt. This awe-inspiring site has earned its place on UNESCO's prestigious World Heritage list. In this vintage illustration by French photographer Henri Bechard, we witness an era when climbing these ancient wonders was not only allowed but embraced. The image showcases a harmonious blend of cultures and expertise as Egyptian guides lend their knowledge and support to eager adventurers from distant lands. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder that times have changed since then. Today, it is strictly forbidden to climb these extraordinary pyramids due to preservation efforts and safety concerns. However, through archival treasures like this picture, we can glimpse into a time when such experiences were possible. Ken Welsh's expert curation brings forth historical gems like this one for us to appreciate and cherish. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, let us reflect on our shared human fascination with exploration and marvel at the enduring legacy left behind by civilizations long gone.
