EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the timeless beauty of Cleopatra's Needle, an ancient Egyptian obelisk dating back to 1500 BC. Transported from Egypt to London in 1878, it now stands proudly on the Thames Embankment, a symbol of history and cultural exchange. In this snapshot taken around 1935, we see people leisurely sitting on the steps leading down to the river, basking in the presence of this magnificent monument. The image showcases not only the grandeur of Cleopatra's Needle but also offers a glimpse into daily life in bustling London during that era. The architectural marvel rises against a backdrop of cityscape and water, blending seamlessly with its surroundings. Its monolithic structure commands attention as it reaches towards the sky, reminding us of ancient civilizations' remarkable achievements. Published in "Wonderful London" edited by Arthur St John Adcock, this print transports us back in time to experience both the historical significance and aesthetic allure of this iconic landmark. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our enduring fascination with preserving fragments from distant cultures. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded that Cleopatra's Needle is more than just an obelisk; it represents connections between nations and serves as a tangible link between past and present.
