EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic beauty of Cleopatra's Needle, a remarkable rock formation in Devils Lake, Wisconsin. Created by Alfred Waud in 1874 as part of his work for "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" this image showcases the unique wonders of nature. Standing tall at nearly sixty feet high, Cleopatra's Needle is an isolated column of rock that pierces through a surrounding bosket. It proudly emerges from the cliffs that plunge sheer into the tranquil waters of Devils Lake. Its presence is both awe-inspiring and mysterious, drawing visitors to marvel at its grandeur. Waud's skillful engraving brings out every intricate detail of this geological masterpiece. The texture and ruggedness of the rocks are beautifully captured in stark contrast against the serene backdrop of the lake and surrounding hills. Through his artistry, Waud transports us to this enchanting location, allowing us to appreciate its natural splendor even from afar. As we gaze upon this print today, over a century later, we can still feel a sense of wonderment at Cleopatra's Needle. It serves as a reminder that there are countless hidden treasures scattered across our vast country waiting to be discovered and admired. This piece not only celebrates nature's ability to create extraordinary formations but also pays homage to Alfred Waud's talent in capturing their essence on paper for generations to come.
