Incidents of travel in Egypt, Arabia Petraea, and the Holy Land: with a map and angravings
John Lloyd Stephens's 1837 travelogue Incidents of Travel in Egypt, Arabia Petraea, and the Holy Land, an illustrated account of archaeological journeys written for general readers of the period. The first picture is a pencil-style engraved view of a rocky ravine leading to Petra, with a lone rider on a path between towering cliffs, while the second is a blue stamped heraldic crest with a lion, stars, and a motto ribbon, which is a library or owner mark rather than part of the book. A designer could take the layered rock textures and the small figure dwarfed by a steep landscape as a model for scale and atmosphere.
