Egypt Moving Cleopatra's Needle Barge Obelisk Engineering Vtg. Photo 19thC.
This quality reprint of a vintage photo shows workers prepare the specially designed cylindrical barge, the *Cleopatra*, on the shore in Alexandria, Egypt, for the transport of the famous obelisk. This photograph captures the complex engineering feat of moving Cleopatra's Needle to London in 1877. The iron caisson was built around the monument, which was then rolled into the sea for its perilous journey.
