Item Details

Description

Heading: (Nile Reservoir - Egypt)
Author:
Title: The Nile Reservoir Works at Aswan & Asyut
Place Published:
Publisher:
Date Published: [1902]
Description:

Eight pages of text by Sir William Garstin, the Under Secretary of State for Public Works in Egypt. 31 large mounted silver mat collodion photographs, each signed in the negative by the photographer "D. S. George". (Oblong folio) 33x38.1 cm (13x15"), brown leather backed boards with the title and a star and crescent in gilt on front panel, top edge gilt.

An impressive series of photographs recording the human effort of this massive engineering feat. These images are dramatically teaming with hundreds of workers moving and stacking rocks and masonry by hand. The opening pages of text describe the construction and politics surrounding the building of the first Aswan dam. The photographs illustrate an overview of the channel at the commencement of work, the temporary closing of the channel, \the excavation, laying of masonry, and the completed dam, sluices and locks.

Condition

Some wear, spine and edges rubbed; front and rear hinges reinforced with tape, ownership inscription on front flyleaf, some images with off-setting and browning; very good.
