EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving transports us back to the 19th century, capturing the majestic beauty of Cleopatra's Needle on the Victoria Thames Embankment. The image showcases this remarkable obelisk, a symbol of ancient Egypt, standing tall against the London skyline. The scene depicts a momentous occasion - the raising of Cleopatra's Needle in its new home. With meticulous detail and precision, the engraving highlights both the engineering feat and historical significance of this event. It is as if we can almost feel the excitement in the air as spectators gather to witness this monumental achievement. Cleopatra's Needle serves as a tangible link between two great civilizations - Egypt and England. Its presence on London's embankment stands testament to both human ingenuity and our enduring fascination with history. This print allows us to marvel at how such an enormous structure was transported across vast distances and erected with such precision. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of Cleopatra herself - her power, allure, and enigmatic legacy that still captivate our imaginations today. Through artistry and skillful craftsmanship, this engraving immortalizes not only an iconic landmark but also pays homage to those who made it possible. Intriguingly framed by Peter Jackson Collection from Bridgeman Images' archives, this print invites us into a world where past meets present; where ancient wonders find their place amidst modern landscapes; where history becomes tangible through art.
