The XIth dynasty temple at Deir el-Bahari
An 1907 archaeological memoir by Édouard Naville, published in London and Boston for the Egypt Exploration Fund, recording excavation of the Eleventh Dynasty temple at Deir el-Bahari in Egypt for scholars and archaeologists. Its plates are measured line drawings: a perspective plan of the two temples, a restored perspective of the temple with stepped ramps and colonnades, photographs of carved reliefs and ruined halls, and an elevation with a sectional view. A designer might take from them the layered terrace architecture cut into a cliff face, with clean drafted linework and hatched shading.
