EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a significant moment in history - the erection of Cleopatra's Needle on the Thames Embankment. The image, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, showcases the grandeur and architectural marvel of this iconic monument. The scene depicts a bustling construction site along the River Thames, with workers diligently assembling Cleopatra's Needle. Towering above them, this ancient Egyptian obelisk stands tall and proud against the backdrop of London's skyline. Its intricate carvings and imposing presence evoke a sense of awe and wonder. The Thames Embankment serves as both a stage for this monumental event and a testament to human ingenuity. This engineering feat transformed the riverfront into an elegant promenade while providing much-needed flood protection for London. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to September 21st, 1878 - when The Graphic first published this historic moment. It is a reminder that art has always played an essential role in documenting our past and preserving our collective memory. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we can now appreciate every detail of this engraving from Peter Jackson Collection privately held today. Let us cherish these glimpses into our shared heritage as they remind us of how far we have come while inspiring future generations to continue building their own monuments along life's ever-changing banks.
