About the Item
View of Derri on the Nile – Antique Egypt Panoramic Engraving, c.1755
This elegant panoramic engraving presents the town of Derri on the Nile, shown from across the river with sailing boats in the foreground and a low settlement set against rising desert hills. The composition is defined by its wide horizon and restrained architectural detail, emphasizing the relationship between water, settlement, and surrounding landscape.
The plate originates from Frederik Ludvig Norden’s important Voyage d’Égypte et de Nubie, first published in Copenhagen in 1755. Norden’s views are valued for their documentary precision and calm, observational tone, reflecting Enlightenment ideals of scientific travel and measured recording rather than romantic exaggeration.
This view of Derri offers both historical insight and strong decorative appeal, particularly for collectors interested in early Nile geography or interiors favoring balanced horizontal compositions.
