EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph, titled "Cleopatra's Obelisk and the Great Sphinx of Giza," is a captivating image from Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, published in Meissen, Germany around 1835-1840. The print showcases two iconic ancient Egyptian landmarks: Cleopatra's Obelisk and the Great Sphinx of Giza. The obelisk, also known as the Cleopatra's Needle, is depicted standing tall against the backdrop of the desert landscape. It is adorned with intricate hieroglyphics and carved with the image of the pharaoh Ramesses II. This obelisk was originally erected in Heliopolis during the Egyptian Old Kingdom and was later re-erected in London's Victoria Embankment Gardens in 1878. The Great Sphinx, a legendary guardian of the Giza pyramids, is shown in the foreground of the print. This colossal statue, carved from limestone, dates back to the reign of Pharaoh Khafre around 2500 BC. The Sphinx is depicted with the body of a lion and the head of a human, believed to represent the pharaoh himself. European scientists and scholars of the 19th century were fascinated by ancient Egyptian culture and history. This lithograph is a testament to their curiosity and the advancements in print technology that allowed for the mass production and dissemination of such knowledge. The image not only captures the historical significance of these monuments but also showcases the customs, costumes, and people of the time. The handcoloring adds a vibrant and intricate detail to the print, making it a valuable piece of ethnography and anthropology.
