A photograph of the back of the Great Sphinx at Giza. There is a group of people and animals beyond the sphinx. Since this photograph was taken in 1908, the area around the sphinx has been more thoroughly excavated, uncovering more of its body as well as structures in front of and around it. From an album of photos from a 1908 voyage to the Mediterranean on the CARPATHIA.
