EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Arrival of the Tug 'Anglia' with Cleopatra's Needle off Gravesend, on the 21st inst" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases a remarkable event that occurred on January 21,1878. The focal point of the image is the majestic tugboat named "Anglia" as it gracefully guides Cleopatra's Needle towards its destination off Gravesend. This historical artifact holds immense cultural and archaeological significance as it was gifted to England by Egypt in 1819. The scene depicted here captures a sense of anticipation and excitement surrounding this monumental arrival. The intricate details portrayed through skilled engraving techniques bring life to every wave and ripple in the water, emphasizing the grandeur of this occasion. Published originally in The Pictorial World magazine on January 26,1878, this illustration provides viewers with a glimpse into an important chapter of maritime history. It serves as a reminder of our interconnectedness across nations and cultures throughout time. Preserved within private collections today, this artwork continues to captivate audiences with its rich historical context and artistic brilliance. As we admire this print from Fine Art Finder courtesy of Bridgeman Images, let us appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and its ability to transport us back to a momentous day when Cleopatra's Needle found its new home along England's shores at Gravesend.
