Description

The engraving is divided into three parts with different landscapes. (a. Ruins at Garbe Girsche; b. detail of the building; c. the village of Scherk Girsche opposite). Numbered top right with CLII. With handwritten pencil marks below. 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.
