A thousand miles up the Nile
A Thousand Miles up the Nile is an 1888 travel account by Amelia B. Edwards, a British writer, describing her Egyptian journey for general readers of the period. The four engravings show ancient Egyptian sculpture, a seated pair in profile, a tomb or coffin scene with mourners, and a figure laid on a lion-shaped bier; their plain black linework and simple outlines suit editorial spot illustration and historical motif reference.
