Maspero, G. (Gaston), 1846-1916, Edwards, Amelia Ann Blanford, 1831-1892 · 1888 · New York : G.P. Putnam's Sons; London, H. Grevel & Company · 18 pictures

Egyptian archeology, a survey by Gaston Maspero, translated and edited by Amelia Edwards, published in New York and London in 1888 for general readers and students of ancient art. The pictures are black-and-white line engravings of temple and palace plans and a bird's-eye reconstruction of an enclosed temple precinct with walls, pylons and a sacred pool, showing how ground plans were drawn as flat architectural diagrams a designer could borrow for schematic layouts.
