EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Prising Up the Needle, in order to build the Framework under it, 1877" takes us back to a significant moment in history. This image captures a group of determined men engaged in an extraordinary task - the transportation of Cleopatra's Needle from Alexandria to London. Originally erected on the orders of Thutmose III around 1450 BC in Heliopolis, this ancient obelisk had stood tall for centuries until its relocation became necessary. In October 1877, funded by William James Erasmus Wilson, this colossal structure embarked on a remarkable journey that would forever change its destiny. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness these brave workers laboring diligently to move the fallen monument. The sheer weight and scale of their undertaking is evident as they meticulously construct a framework beneath it. Their dedication and expertise are commendable as they navigate through disrepair and challenges presented by time itself. This photograph not only showcases their physical strength but also highlights the architectural marvel that Cleopatra's Needle represents. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity throughout different eras and civilizations. Preserved within the pages of The Strand Magazine from George Newnes Ltd. , this image offers us a glimpse into an awe-inspiring chapter where ancient Egypt meets modern London. As we admire this print today, we can't help but be reminded of our shared heritage and how monumental achievements continue to shape our world across centuries.
