Pompey's Pillar - A Glimpse into Ancient Egypt's Majestic Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print of Pompey's Pillar, captured by the talented artist David Roberts in the 19th century, takes us on a journey to Alexandria, Egypt. The pillar stands tall and proud as a testament to the rich history and architectural marvels of ancient Egyptian civilization. Crafted from solid granite, this monumental column dates back to the 1st century BC and has become an iconic landmark in Alexandria. Its imposing presence against the clear blue sky evokes a sense of awe and wonder. In this lithograph, we see people gathered outside Pompey's Pillar, admiring its grandeur while soaking up the beauty of their surroundings. The exterior architecture showcases intricate details that have stood the test of time. As we delve deeper into this image, it transports us back to a bygone era when archaeology was still uncovering treasures buried beneath layers of sand. This archaeological site holds immense historical significance for scholars and enthusiasts alike. Preserved within The Victoria and Albert Museum in London, this print serves as a visual reminder of our enduring fascination with ancient civilizations. It is through art media like David Roberts' work that we can appreciate these cultural gems that continue to captivate our imagination centuries later.
