Travels in Egypt and Nubia

Norden, Frederik Ludvig, Templeman, Peter [Hrsg.] · 1757 · 49 pictures

Travels in Egypt and Nubia is a travel account by the Danish naval officer Frederik Ludvig Norden, published in English in 1757 and edited by Peter Templeman, for readers interested in antiquities and the Nile. The pictures are copperplate engravings of temple facades and river views, with plates of the Nile from Gisa to Dendur shown as narrow strips with place names, and a designer could take their clean linework, dense hatching, and sepia tones as a reference for historical cartography and architectural drawing.
