Voyage dans la basse et la haute Égypte, pendant les campagnes du général Bonaparte
Denon's Voyage dans la basse et la haute Égypte, published in Paris in 1802, is a travel account by Dominique Vivant Denon, an artist who accompanied Napoleon's Egyptian campaign, and it was made for a learned and general French readership. Its plates show ruined Egyptian temple facades, pylons and carved walls seen in flat, sketchy engraved views with figures and camels in the foreground, useful to designers looking for antiquarian landscape compositions and architectural silhouettes.
