About the Item
Title: "Cleopatra's Needle and Pompey's Pillar: Monuments of Ancient Alexandria"
Description: This detailed copper engraved antique print, published in 1817 as part of Cooke's Geography, depicts two of Egypt's most famous ancient monuments: Cleopatra's Needle and the Alexandria Column, more commonly referred to as Pompey's Pillar. The fine lines and precise detailing of the engravings highlight the hieroglyphic inscriptions on Cleopatra's Needle and the ornate Corinthian capital atop Pompey's Pillar. The presence of figures in period attire offers a sense of scale, emphasizing the grandeur of these structures.
