EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken on the historic date of July 6, 1878, we witness an intriguing moment in London's rich history as the Cleopatra's Needle obelisk is being carefully transported from its temporary location to its permanent home on the Thames Embankment. The needle, an ancient Egyptian obelisk, was originally discovered in Alexandria, Egypt, in the late 18th century and had been displayed in various European cities before finally finding a permanent home in London. The graphic image showcases a complex engineering feat as the needle, standing tall and proud against the backdrop of London's iconic buildings, is carefully dismantled for transportation. The intricate process involved the meticulous removal of the obelisk's intricate hieroglyphics and inscriptions, which were later painstakingly reattached to the structure once it was erected. The photograph captures the sense of anticipation and excitement in the air as the city's residents and visitors gathered to witness this historic event. The image also serves as a reminder of the important role that London played in the global exchange of knowledge and culture during the late 19th century. The Cleopatra's Needle, now a cherished landmark of the city, stands as a testament to London's enduring fascination with the ancient world and its commitment to preserving and celebrating the rich cultural heritage of humanity.
