EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph takes us back to the 19th century, capturing the grandeur of Pompeys Pillar in Alexandria, Egypt. The print showcases the remarkable Roman triumphal column that once stood tall and proud, honoring the great Diocletian between 298-302 AD. The pillar itself is a sight to behold, standing against a backdrop of classical architecture. Its Corinthian design exudes elegance and strength, while its sheer size commands attention. This lithograph allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of this ancient marvel. Intriguingly, we see a camel calmly passing by at the foot of the pillar. Its presence adds an exotic touch to this already mesmerizing scene. It serves as a reminder that history often intertwines with everyday life in unexpected ways. The flat pedestal upon which Pompeys Pillar rests provides stability and balance to its towering structure. It is a testament to human ingenuity and engineering prowess from centuries past. As we gaze upon this lithograph, we are transported back in time - witnessing both architectural magnificence and remnants of ancient civilizations. It serves as a window into another era, allowing us to appreciate the rich history that lies within these stone walls.
