EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early days of Hollywood, specifically 1923. The image showcases the meticulous construction of the Avenue of (plaster) Sphinxes on the Paramount back lot for Cecil B. DeMille's grand production, The Ten Commandments. In this historical snapshot, we witness a team of dedicated craftsmen carefully assembling each sphinx with precision and artistry. These majestic figures, reminiscent of North African culture, are being brought to life in an American studio setting. The sandy backdrop adds an authentic touch to recreate the ancient world on screen. The significance of this moment cannot be understated as it represents both the ambition and scale that characterized silent films during this era. With its extravagant sets and larger-than-life productions like The Ten Commandments, Hollywood was establishing itself as a global powerhouse in filmmaking. Granger Art on Demand has beautifully captured this iconic scene from Hollywood's past through their Carousel Collection. This print not only serves as a visual time capsule but also pays homage to the incredible craftsmanship involved in creating these remarkable movie sets. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but marvel at how far cinema has come since those early days when plaster sphinxes were painstakingly assembled by hand. It is a testament to human creativity and innovation that continues to shape our modern film industry today.
