An Egyptian obelisk rises at the center of this hand-colored lithograph, with small figures arranged around its base to show its scale against the surrounding ground. Obelisks like this one were cut from single blocks of granite and set up in pairs at temple entrances, a practice that began in ancient Egypt and drew European travelers and artists through the 1800s. Prints such as this one were often colored by hand after printing, so the tones of stone, sky and clothing vary from copy to copy and are worth comparing closely.
