The Holy Land: Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia: = Egypt & Nubia [1]
This is a lithographed travel volume by David Roberts with text by George Croly, published in 1846 and aimed at a general audience of armchair travellers and collectors of antiquities. The plates record Egyptian temple sites and monuments as they looked to a European visitor, with figures in local dress added for scale. A designer could take from them the tonal, sepia-washed architectural views and the way small human figures are placed against massive stone to suggest scale.
