Photocopy of a photograph is mounted with a label beneath which contains a description of the subject, title, location and
series number (1034) ; also a "4" is handwritten in a corner; Printed Description: "The Great Pyramid, or Pyramid of Cheops-Suphis,
built more than 2000 years before Christ. At present the base measures 746 feet, and the perpendicular height 750 feet. The
loss of the casing has lowered it some 50 feet. The area covered is about that of Lincoln's Inn Fields, or more than twice
the area of St. Peter's at Rome. It was opened by Caliph Mamoon (i.e. the Baboon), son of the famous Haroun Alraschid, about
A.D. 820, in the hope of finding treasure. The sphinx is hewn out of the solid rock, excepting the fore legs and the casing
of part of the back. It was constructed by Thothmes III or IV, about B.C. 1450, when the pyramids were already old. The Arabs
call it Aboolhol, 'Father of Terror,' with 'its sad, serious gaze and big pouting lips.' From the belly to the top of the
head it measures 62 feet, and in length 143 feet. Between the paws, which alone extend 50 feet, an altar was erected. The
head was formerly surmounted by the ram's horn and feather, i.e. the pshent or united crown of Upper and Lower Egypt, showing
that the Sphinx is the emblem of royalty."
