EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a historic moment in time - the raising of Cleopatra's Needle, the Obelisk of Luxor, in the heart of Paris. The scene is set on October 25th, 1836, at the iconic Place de la Concorde. The image showcases an impressive feat of engineering and archaeology as workers diligently work together to hoist this ancient Egyptian monument into its new home. The obelisk stands tall against a backdrop of grand buildings and bustling activity, symbolizing a fusion between ancient history and modern civilization. The significance of this event cannot be understated. It represents not only France's fascination with Egyptology during the 19th century but also their desire to showcase cultural diversity and international connections. Cleopatra's Needle serves as a testament to human ingenuity and curiosity about our shared past. As we gaze upon this print today, it transports us back to that pivotal moment when two worlds collided - where East met West in one harmonious display. This engraving allows us to appreciate both the architectural beauty of Paris' famous square and the historical richness brought by Cleopatra's Needle. Through this artwork, we are reminded that monuments like these hold stories from centuries ago; they connect us with civilizations long gone while inspiring awe and wonder for generations to come.
