EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Obelisk of Heliopolis, a remarkable archaeological site that transports us back to ancient Egypt. Created by renowned artist David Roberts in 1839, this lithograph beautifully captures the essence of this historical monument. The obelisk stands tall against the backdrop of a clear blue sky, its weathered exterior bearing witness to centuries gone by. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are drawn to the intricate hieroglyphics adorning the obelisk's surface. These ancient writings tell stories and convey messages from a civilization long past, offering glimpses into their rich culture and beliefs. The presence of people outside adds scale and perspective to the photograph, reminding us that even after thousands of years, this architectural marvel continues to captivate visitors from around the world. Located in Cairo, Egypt, it serves as a testament to human ingenuity and artistic prowess. David Roberts' meticulous attention to detail brings out every nuance of this extraordinary structure. Through his artistry and skillful use of art media, he has preserved an important piece of history for generations to come. This print is housed in The Victoria and Albert Museum in London – a fitting home for such an exquisite piece that celebrates both ancient Egyptian heritage and 19th-century artistic excellence. As we admire this masterpiece today, we pay homage not only to David Roberts but also to AccuSoft Inc. , who have ensured its preservation since 1996-98 with all rights reserved.
