EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Obelisks at Alexandria, famously known as Cleopatra's Needles. The aquatint reproduction from 1802, based on Luigi Mayer's original work, transports us back to ancient Egypt and its rich history. These majestic obelisks stand tall against the backdrop of Alexandria, a city that was once a thriving center of knowledge and culture. The significance of these obelisks lies in their association with the legendary Queen Cleopatra herself. Believed to have been erected during her reign, they serve as a testament to her power and influence over this ancient land. Each needle-like structure is adorned with intricate hieroglyphics that tell stories of an era long gone. Luigi Mayer's meticulous attention to detail in his aquatint brings out the grandeur and mystique surrounding these historical artifacts. The fine lines and delicate shading capture every nuance of their weathered surfaces, evoking a sense of awe and reverence for Egypt's past. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported through time to witness firsthand the magnificence of ancient Alexandria. It serves as a reminder that even after centuries have passed, remnants of our ancestors' achievements still stand strong today – testaments to human ingenuity and cultural heritage.
