Three 18th Century Hand Coloured Orientalist Views of Egypt, Circa 1740
About the Item
These fine mid 18th century orientalist hand coloured engravings with full margins, were originally drawn in 1737 by Frederik Ludvig Norden, then engraved & printed by Markus Tuscher in 1743 & 1744.
Frederik Ludvig Norden (1708-1742) was a Danish naval officer, cartographer & archaeologist who travelled down the Nile through Egypt into the Sudan during the years 1737-1738. The account of his travels 'Voyage d' Egypt et de Nubie' was published over a decade after his death, along with these & other engravings of his drawings by Markus Tuscher (1705-1751). These plates are considered to be the earliest & most significant illustrations drawn prior to Dominique Vivant Denon’s (1747-1825) account in 1799, published in 1802.
