Voyages En Égypte Et En Nubie, Contenant Le Récit Des Recherches Et Découvertes Archéologiques Faites Dans Les Pyramides, Temples, Ruines Et Tombes De Ces Pays: Suivis D'Un Voyage Sur La Côte De La Mer Rouge Et A L'Oasis De Jupiter Ammon: Atlas
This atlas accompanies Giovanni Battista Belzoni's 1821 French account of his archaeological excavations in Egypt and Nubia, published for a European readership interested in travel and antiquity. Its plates are hand-coloured engravings of tomb and temple wall paintings, with figures in profile, hieroglyphic panels, and ornamental borders in ochre, red, and black that a designer could draw on for flat, decorative pattern work.
