Description
|
|
|
|
In 1798 Napoleon Bonaparte launched an expedition of 35,000 soldiers to conquer Egypt. The campaign was a military and political disaster but it nonetheless had a profound and lasting impact, revealing the splendor of the mysterious and forgotten civilization of ancient Egypt. French scholars, scientists, and artists produced thousands of engravings and drawings for one of the most ambitious cultural catalogs ever published, the ten-volume Description de l'Egypte. This compact yet thick book reproduces the first two parts of the catalog, "Antiquités" and "Etat Moderne."
