EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Obelisks at Alexandria, famously known as Cleopatra's Needles. Taken in 1802, this image transports us back to ancient Egypt, where these magnificent structures stood tall against the backdrop of a breathtaking blue sky and a serene beach. The obelisks themselves are a testament to the rich history and architectural brilliance of ancient Egyptian civilization. In this 19th-century snapshot, we see a group of people strolling along the shore, admiring the ruins that surround them. Among them is a lone male figure who appears lost in thought as he takes in the awe-inspiring sight before him. The landscape exudes an air of tranquility and mystery, inviting us to explore further into this ancient city. The artist has skillfully captured both the grandeur and decay of Alexandria's past through their use of color and composition. The aquatint technique employed adds depth and texture to every detail, making it feel almost like an illustration or painting come to life. Louis Mayer's expertise as a print collector shines through in his meticulous preservation of this historical landmark. This medium group photograph not only serves as a visual record but also evokes our curiosity about what life was like during that time period. Overall, this print offers us a glimpse into both ancient Egypt's fascinating past and its enduring legacy on our modern world.
