Richard Pococke's Beschreibung des Morgenlandes und einiger anderer Länder: Von Egypten
Richard Pococke's 1771 German travelogue of Egypt and the Levant, edited by Johann Friedrich Breyer and translated by Christian Ernst von Windheim, is an archaeological and topographical survey for German-reading scholars and travellers. Its engraved plates show temple elevations, ground plans with lettered keys, a fortified gateway, and a hexagonal enclosure with a draped cloth border. Designers can draw on the precise architectural line work, the dense cross-hatching, and the clean plan layouts for diagrammatic or map-like graphics.
