The image showcases an ambitious plan to transport Cleopatra's Needle, a monumental ancient Egyptian obelisk, from its original location in Egypt all the way to England. The scene depicts a longitudinal section of a massive cylinder-shaped vessel specially designed for this extraordinary task. The monument is shown securely fastened within the ship, ready to embark on its long journey across the maritime expanse. The exterior of the vessel reveals intricate details and engineering marvels that were required for such an undertaking. As we gaze upon this historical print, we are transported back in time and can almost feel the anticipation and excitement surrounding this audacious project. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination in preserving cultural heritage. This engraving was originally published in The Graphic on March 3rd, 1877, providing readers with a glimpse into what would become one of history's most remarkable transportation feats.
