EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage image transports us back in time to the early 1900s in London, where Cleopatra's Needle stands proudly on the Victoria Embankment. The Needle, an ancient Egyptian obelisk, is a fascinating relic of the past that has found a new home in the heart of the city. The photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, captures the Needle in all its grandeur, surrounded by the hustle and bustle of the bustling city. The old Victorian and Edwardian architecture in the background adds to the sense of history and nostalgia. The lantern slide, a popular form of visual entertainment during this era, showcases the Needle in its full glory. The intricate carvings and hieroglyphics adorning the obelisk are clearly visible, making it an intriguing sight for the viewers. The image also offers a glimpse into the past, with horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians making their way along the Embankment. The Thames River, with its calm waters reflecting the clear blue sky, adds to the serene beauty of the scene. The early 1900s were a time of great change and progress in London, and this photograph is a testament to the city's rich history and its ability to preserve the past while embracing the future. The Cleopatra's Needle, a symbol of ancient Egypt and its fascinating history, continues to be a popular tourist attraction and a source of wonder for generations to come.
