'Watching a sand whirlwind from the top of Hawara pyramid, Egypt', 1905.Artist: Underwood & Underwood
'Watching a sand whirlwind from the top of Hawara pyramid, Egypt', 1905. 'What a picture of desolation! And yet we are standing in the midst of one of the most fertile tracts in the world. These rough sun-dried bricks at our feet form the summit of the pyramid of Hawara, which stands in the mouth of the Fayum, and from this elevated point of view we are looking through the valley which connects the depression of the Fayum with the Nile valley. Out yonder on the horizon is the pyramid of lllahun.' Stereoscopic card. Detail. From a series called Egypt Through the Stereoscope, text by James H Breasted.
