EDITORS COMMENTS
Cleopatra's Needle on the Embankment by Night" is an evocative and historical photograph that transports us back in time to the early 20th century, specifically to the year 1910 in England. The image captures the enchanting sight of Cleopatra's Needle, an ancient Egyptian obelisk, standing proudly on the Thames Embankment in London. The photograph was taken at night, and the scene is illuminated by the soft glow of lanterns and lamps that line the embankment. The needle, a 68-foot tall granite monolith, is bathed in a mystical light, its intricate hieroglyphics and inscriptions standing out in stark relief against the darkened sky. The slide, which is a photographic transparency used for projecting images onto a screen or wall, offers a unique perspective of this iconic landmark. The photograph was taken from a low angle, giving us a sense of intimacy and proximity to the needle, while also highlighting its impressive size and grandeur. The image is a testament to the rich history and cultural exchange that took place between Egypt and England during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The obelisk, which was originally erected in Egypt around 1450 BC, was presented to the United Kingdom by the Egyptian government in 1878 as a gesture of goodwill and friendship. It was transported to England in pieces and reassembled on the Thames Embankment, where it has stood as a symbol of the ancient Egyptian civilization and its enduring legacy. The photograph also captures the charm and allure of London's riverside, with its elegant street lamps and the gentle ripples of the Thames reflecting the moonlight. The image invites us to imagine the stories and secrets that the needle and the embankment hold, and to appreciate the beauty and history that surrounds us.
