EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Cleopatra's Needle in Central Park, New York, circa 1881. The stunning color lithograph by the American School of the 19th century takes us back to a time when the Egyptian government divided a pair of obelisks and generously gifted one to the United States while the other went to Great Britain. The image captures this ancient monument in all its grandeur, standing tall amidst the lush greenery of Central Park. Its intricate hieroglyphics tell stories of an ancient civilization, transporting us to a different era altogether. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history, we are reminded of the cultural exchange between nations and how it enriches our understanding of each other's heritage. This particular gift from Egypt symbolizes not only their generosity but also serves as a reminder that art transcends borders and connects people across continents. The photograph allows us to appreciate both the architectural beauty and historical significance of Cleopatra's Needle. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity and craftsmanship, reminding us that even after centuries have passed, these monuments continue to inspire awe and wonder. In this print from Bridgeman Images' Stapleton Collection, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand this magnificent relic from ancient Egypt now proudly displayed in one of America's most iconic parks.
