EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving transports us back in time to ancient Egypt, where two iconic monuments stand tall against the backdrop of a scenic landscape. The image showcases Cleopatra's Needle and the Alexandrian Column, also known as Pompey's Pillar. Cleopatra's Needle, an ancient obelisk, is a testament to the grandeur and power of one of history's most legendary queens. Standing proudly beside it is Pompey's Pillar, a towering column that has witnessed centuries of Egyptian history unfold before its very eyes. The scene depicted in this print holds great historical significance. It was around these monumental structures that fallen French soldiers were laid to rest after their defeat at Alexandria. As we gaze upon this engraving, we can almost feel the weight of history and imagine the stories held within these stone giants. Published in Voyages and Travels by Cooke circa 1810, this artwork offers us a glimpse into a world long gone but not forgotten. The attention to detail captured by the English School artist allows us to appreciate both the architectural beauty of these structures and their cultural importance. As we delve into this mesmerizing piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, let our imaginations wander through time as we explore the wonders of ancient Egypt through artistry and storytelling.
