EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken by Julian J Samuels before 1940, transports us to the majestic Victoria Embankment in Westminster, London. The image captures a serene moment at Cleopatra's Needle, where two men find solace between the powerful arms of one of the magnificent bronze sphinxes that guard this Egyptian monument. The timeless allure of this photograph lies not only in its historical significance but also in its ability to evoke a sense of mystery and wonder. As we gaze upon these two individuals seated amidst such grandeur, we are left pondering their thoughts and stories. Were they locals seeking respite from the bustling city? Or perhaps tourists mesmerized by the exotic charm of this ancient relic? Against the backdrop of a gently flowing river, which adds an element of tranquility to the scene, these men become partakers in history itself. Their presence reminds us that even amid towering monuments built centuries ago on distant lands, human connection remains universal. Julian J Samuels skillfully captures both the architectural magnificence and human intimacy within this frame. Through his lens, he invites us to contemplate our place within time and space while appreciating how cultures intertwine across borders. This remarkable print serves as a testament to Historic England's commitment to preserving our shared heritage for generations to come.
