COSTUME ET PORTRAIT D’UN HOMME D’ARMES AU CAIRE.

Magnificent engraving of an Egyptian soldier, in full costume, with axe and sword. 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.
