Narrative of the Operations and Recent Discoveries Within the Pyramids, Temples, Tombs, and Excavations in Egypt and Nubia: And of a Journey to the Coast of the Red Sea in Search of the Ancient Berenice, and of Another to the Oasis of Jupiter AmmonJohn Murray, 1821 - 533 Seiten Michael Twyman, an authority on the history of lithography, states that: "No work of any importance had been printed in England by lithography at this stage and its use here [by Belzoni], as one early writer [in the Library of the Fine Arts, 1831] pointed out, had the effect of recommending the new process to artists" (Lithography 1800-1850, p. 189). This Atlas volume comprises 44 illustrations on 34 leaves of plates, of which 19 are hand-coloured lithographs after Belzoni, 21 are hand-coloured etchings, and 4 are uncoloured etchings after Belzoni and G. Scharf by A. Aglio and L. Clark. For the coloured illustrations, as many as eight colours were used on one plate, and the colouring is skillfully executed."--Abebooks website.
