EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Cleopatra's Needle, a remarkable piece of ancient history nestled in the heart of New York City's Central Park. Standing tall against a backdrop of towering skyscrapers, this obelisk transports us back to the mid-1900s, capturing a moment frozen in time. Originally erected by Tuthmosis III during his reign in Egypt between 1504 and 1450 BC, this majestic monument holds centuries of stories within its weathered stone. Having traveled from Alexandria to its final destination in New York as a gift from the Egyptian government in 1880, Cleopatra's Needle stands as a symbol of cultural exchange and historical significance. Surrounded by lush greenery and framed by an expansive blue sky, the juxtaposition between ancient civilization and modern metropolis is strikingly evident. This photograph not only celebrates the beauty of nature but also highlights humanity's ability to preserve and appreciate art across time. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of our shared human heritage and the importance of preserving these archaeological treasures for future generations. It serves as a testament to both our fascination with ancient civilizations and our desire to connect with them through art. Through this print captured by Hulton Archive/Getty Images, Cleopatra's Needle becomes more than just an artifact; it becomes an emblematic link between past and present—a visual reminder that history lives on amidst bustling city life.
