A VERY LARGE 1812 'DESCRIPTION DE L'EGYPTE' NAPOLEONIC ENGRAVING, SCENE OF AZBAKEYA FROM THE NILE, DOUBLE WIDTH
Plate 41 from Volume I of 'Description de L'Egypte', showing a view of the district of Azbakeya in Cairo as seen from the Nile, printed on a two-page spread and therefore twice as large as most other engravings from this work. The artists' names can be found at the lower corners of the piece. The goat-head sphinx and obelisk watermark of the Institut d'Egypte can be found at the top right.
Description de L'Egypte was a series of publications from 1809 to 1829 detailing the findings of the team of scholars and scientists known as the 'savants' who accompanied Napoleon Bonaparte on his expedition through Egypt from 1798-1801. The publications were put together by the chief editor Edme-François Jomard (1777-1862), an accomplished archaeologist and cartographer.
Paris, France, 1812.
