A COPPER PLATE ENGRAVING BY F.L. NORDEN CA 1755

The engraving depicts a view on the villages of (a) Mennahuad and (b) Mniel-musa with the Pyramid of Djoser. Numbered top right with LII. With handwritten pencil marks below. Frederic Louis Norden (1708-1742) traveled through Egypt in 1737-1738 at the request of the Danish king Christian VI. Norden took many notes and made drawings of everything that surrounded him, including people, monuments of the pharaohs, architecture, maps. All this was published in the posthumous "Travels in Egypt and Nubia". The work of Frederick Norden is one of the first attempts to fully investigate Egyptian culture and architecture.
