About the Item
View of Tschibel el Deïr on the Nile – Antique Egypt Panorama, c.1755
This wide engraved panorama shows Tschibel el Deïr along the Nile, featuring river traffic in the foreground and dramatic rocky formations rising along the opposite bank. Small figures and boats animate the scene, providing scale and reinforcing the monumental character of the landscape.
The plate exemplifies Norden’s ability to translate observational travel drawing into disciplined engraved form. Geological features, water levels, and human activity are rendered with equal care, making the image both visually engaging and historically informative.
Views such as this appealed strongly to Enlightenment-era audiences interested in geography, antiquity, and the natural sciences, and today remain sought after for their restrained elegance and documentary value.
