Ägypten: Handbuch für Reisende: Ober-Aegypten und Nubien bis zum zweiten Katarakt
A Baedeker travel handbook, Ägypten: Handbuch für Reisende, edited by Karl Baedeker and published in 1891 in German for tourists visiting Upper Egypt and Nubia up to the Second Cataract. Its pictures are ground plans of Egyptian temples and tombs drawn in black line with hatched walls, labelled with letters and Roman numerals for halls and chambers. A designer might take from them the clean diagrammatic language of architectural floor plans, with thick walls, column grids and keyed lettering.
