Ägypten: Handbuch für Reisende: Unter-Aegypten bis zum Fayûm und die Sinai-Halbinsel
This is a German-language travel handbook by Karl Baedeker, published in 1877 in Leipzig for tourists visiting Lower Egypt, the Fayum and the Sinai peninsula. The pictures are fine line engravings of Egyptian hieroglyphic inscriptions, a temple facade with tall papyrus-bundle columns, and Egyptian gods in profile, and a designer might take from them the crisp linear vocabulary of hieroglyphs and stylised figures.
