- Lot Description
Northern Europe, England, London, ca. 1801 CE. A fabulous first edition of "Views in Egypt, from the original drawings in the possession of Sir Robert Ainslie, taken during his embassy to Constantinople by Luigi Mayer: engraved by and under the direction of Thomas Milton: with historical observations, and incidental illustrations of the manners and customs of the natives of that country" containing 102 pages and all 48 of the original hand-colored folio aquatint plates engraved after Mayer's drawings of views, monuments, tombs, and costumes of Egypt. A student of Piranesi, Luigi Mayer was a watercolorist and draughtsman renowned as the most accurate delineator of the Near East before David Roberts, who produced the monumental volumes "The Holy Land" (1842) and "Views in ancient Egypt and Nubia" (1846). "Views in Egypt" is the first of 3 esteemed volumes and provides an insightful look into European presence in 18th to 19th-century Egypt! Size: 13.25" L x 1.5" W x 18.5" H (33.7 cm x 3.8 cm x 47 cm)
