Show moreThe album, possibly a unique copy, it is the second edition, in a smaller format (wide in-4) of the 1841 elephant folio publication Panorama d'Egypte et du Nubie by the French architect and Egyptologist Hector Horeau, who travelled extensively in Egypt between 1837 and 1839. During his stay in Thebes in 1839, he met Pierre-Gustave Joly de Lotbinière. Lotbinière’s daguerreotype views allowed Horeau to achieve great accuracy in illustrations in addition to the sketches taken on site. This edition has 28 plates with 48 photographic reproductions of the original engravings related to Egypt, with the addition of one which was not in the original edition (Vue des Colosses d'Amenophis III).
