Travels in Egypt and the Holy Land, or, The crescent and the cross: comprising the romance and realities of eastern travel
Travels in Egypt and the Holy Land, or The Crescent and the Cross is an 1859 travelogue by Eliot Warburton, written for general readers interested in eastern archaeology and topography. The engravings are rotated sideways on the page and show ruined colonnades, a tall column, robed figures, and a street scene with a seated merchant and a dog. A designer might take their hatched black-and-white line style and the contrast between ancient architecture and everyday figures.
