The image depicts a bustling construction site with workers diligently working together to raise the massive obelisk into its rightful place.

This print serves as a reminder of human ingenuity and our ability to bridge cultures across time and space. It symbolizes not only France's fascination with Egypt but also their commitment to preserving cultural heritage for generations to come.
