ANTIOCHE, appelée par les Arabes, ANTHÂKYEH. Vue de la porte dite de Médine, (BÂB ÊL - MEDYNAH) prise en dehors sur la chemin de Halep.

Magnificent engraving of one of Antioch’s ruined gates, with a procession of merchants and their heavily laden camels. 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.
