EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Alexandria, Cleopatra's Obelisk" takes us back in time to the ancient city of Alexandria in Egypt. The image, captured around 1870 by the talented photographer Beato Antonio, showcases an exquisite wooden object that is a true testament to applied arts and crafts. At the center of this photograph stands Cleopatra's Obelisk, a remarkable structure that has withstood the test of time. This obelisk holds immense historical significance as it was once part of Cleopatra's grand architectural vision for Alexandria. Its presence evokes a sense of awe and wonder as we contemplate its journey through centuries of excavations and preservation efforts. The surrounding landscape adds another layer of intrigue to this composition. The vast desert stretches out beyond our view, reminding us of the natural elements and phenomena that have shaped this region over millennia. In contrast to the arid surroundings, shanty housing can be seen nearby, serving as a reminder of human habitation amidst such ancient marvels. The intricate details captured in this photograph highlight not only Beato Antonio's skill but also showcase the craftsmanship involved in creating such monumental structures. The stairs leading up to the obelisk draw our attention towards its towering height while emphasizing its commemorative purpose. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one small fragment from Egypt's rich archaeological heritage. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst changing landscapes and evolving societies, there will always be remnants left behind - tangible links connecting us with our past.
