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

A large engraving on two pages depicting a view of the River Nile with Abo El-Nour and Bebe in today Cairo. Numbered top right with LXXII and LXXIII. With handwritten pencil marks on the reverse. 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.
