EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Obelisk at Alexandria, commonly known as Cleopatra's Needle. The image was captured in 1846 by David Roberts, a renowned British artist of the 19th century. The lithograph, colored vibrantly by Louis Haghe, beautifully captures the grandeur of this ancient Egyptian monument. Located on 20 Threadneedle Street in London, England, this print is a testament to the rich heritage and cultural exchange between Egypt and Britain during that era. Moonlight casts an enchanting glow over the scene, adding an ethereal quality to the composition. The Obelisk at Alexandria stands tall as a symbol of Egypt's glorious past and its connection to one of history's most fascinating figures - Cleopatra. Its intricate carvings and hieroglyphics tell stories from ancient times that continue to captivate us today. This remarkable artwork is now part of The Cleveland Museum of Art's collection, preserving it for future generations to appreciate. As we gaze upon this print from Heritage Images, we are transported back in time to experience both the artistic mastery of David Roberts and Louis Haghe while marveling at Egypt's enduring legacy.
