Giza Pyramids and Sphinx Engraved: An 18th-Century Egyptian Vista, 1782
About the Item
This original print is titled "THE PYRAMIDS OF EGYPT."
It depicts the famous Giza pyramid complex, with the three pyramids standing prominently in the background. In the foreground, there are several figures, possibly travelers or locals, near the Nile River, which reflects the architecture and natural surroundings. The presence of palm trees and the Sphinx adds to the authentic representation of the Egyptian landscape.
The print is dated August 1, 1788, and was published by Harrison & Co.
The artists involved are identified by the inscriptions "Metz del." for the artist who drew the image, Conrad Martin Metz, and "Birrell Sculp." for the engraver, indicating that the engraving was executed by Birrell. This print is likely a part of a series showcasing views of notable places around the world, a popular type of publication in the 18th century.
