EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a significant moment in history - the lowering of Cleopatra's Needle, presented by the Khedive to the United States. The image showcases the monumental task of transporting this ancient obelisk from Alexandria to its new home across the Atlantic. The scene is filled with action as workers carefully maneuver ropes and pulleys, ensuring that this precious artifact reaches its destination unharmed. The sheer size and weight of Cleopatra's Needle are evident, dwarfing the people who surround it. Their determination is palpable as they work together to accomplish this extraordinary feat. The engraving offers a glimpse into a time when international relations were marked by grand gestures such as presenting historical treasures between nations. It serves as a reminder of the cultural significance attached to these monuments and how they can bridge gaps between civilizations. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to 1880 when The Graphic first published this illustration. We become witnesses to an event that symbolizes both Egypt's rich heritage and its connection with America. Through William Henry James Boot's skilled craftsmanship, we can appreciate not only the technical aspects involved in moving such colossal structures but also marvel at humanity's ability to preserve our shared past for future generations. This print stands as a testament to our collective efforts in safeguarding history while fostering global friendships.
