GROTTE TAILLÉE DANS LEROC PRÈS DE LA PYRAMIDE DE CHEPHRÈN. Vie en grand de la porte qui conduit dans l’interièur. Costumes des gens du pays, venus pour visiter le Santonen 1785.

Six Egyptians in discussion at the entrance to a chamber in the pyramid of Chephren (Khafre), the second of the great pyramids. Louis-François Cassas was one of the best French printmakers of the eighteenth century. His Voyage Pittoresque de la Syrie, de la Phoenicie, de la Palestine, et de la Basse-Egypte is perhaps the finest eighteenth century illustrated book on the Middle East. This superb print is from the first edition, published in parts on large sheets.

Large paper copy. Fine condition. Mounted size: 62 x 46.5cm.
