EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to the Victoria Embankment in London, England, where Cleopatra's Needle stands tall and proud. Erected in 1878, this ancient obelisk offers a glimpse into history as it proudly represents the rich heritage of Egypt dating back to the 15th century BC. In this particular image captured in 1881, we are presented with a view of the base of Cleopatra's Needle. The wood engraving showcases the proposed sphinxes that were set to be added in 1882, positioned facing towards the majestic obelisk itself. This addition would further enhance the allure and mystique surrounding this iconic landmark. The bustling cityscape serves as an intriguing backdrop for this historic masterpiece. Pedestrians can be seen strolling along the riverside sidewalk, taking in all its splendor while sightseers marvel at both its grandeur and significance. The Thames River flows gracefully nearby, adding an element of tranquility amidst the vibrant atmosphere. This Victorian-era photograph captures not only a physical structure but also encapsulates a moment frozen in time—a testament to human ingenuity and fascination with ancient civilizations. Granger Art on Demand has beautifully preserved this snapshot from history through their collection, allowing us to appreciate and admire Cleopatra's Needle for generations to come.
