The land of the monuments: notes of Egyptian travel

Pollard, Joseph · 1896 · 16 pictures

Joseph Pollard's 1896 travel book of notes on Egypt, illustrated with grey wash and halftone plates of ancient monuments, aimed at general readers interested in archaeology. The pictures render temple interiors with rows of statues, colonnades, a small temple with a gateway, and carved hieroglyphic inscriptions in soft tonal shading, giving a designer usable models of monumental architecture, dramatic perspective receding into shadow, and atmospheric ruin scenes.
