EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Cleopatra's Needle, Alexandria" takes us back in time to ancient Egypt. The image showcases the majestic Cleopatra's Needle, a monumental obelisk that has stood tall for centuries in the bustling city of Alexandria. The artist from the 19th century English School skillfully captures the grandeur and intricate details of this iconic structure. The needle rises proudly against a backdrop of clear blue skies, its weathered surface telling tales of countless generations that have passed by. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported to an era when pharaohs ruled and legends were born. We can almost imagine Cleopatra herself standing beside her namesake monument, her regal presence resonating through time. The Illustrated London News featured this illustration on February 1st, 1862 - a testament to its historical significance even during Victorian times. This particular print now resides in a private collection but continues to captivate viewers with its rich depiction of Egyptian history. Whether you are an admirer of ancient civilizations or simply appreciate fine artistry, this engraving invites you on a visual journey to explore one of Egypt's most treasured landmarks – Cleopatra's Needle in Alexandria.
