Remarks on several parts of Turkey: Aegyptiaca

Hamilton, William Richard, Hayes, Charles [Ill.] · 1809 · 10 pictures

Remarks on several parts of Turkey: Aegyptiaca is a 1809 travel account of Egyptian antiquities by William Richard Hamilton, with plates drawn by Charles Hayes for an English readership interested in archaeology and topography. Its engravings show temple facades with papyrus-bud columns, a hieroglyph-carved obelisk pair, a shadowed doorway with a seated figure, and statues in profile, offering a designer clear architectural line work, hatched shading and monumental symmetry to borrow.
