MAUSOLÉE D’ÉLABÉLUS. Vüe de l’intérieur du rez de chaussée, prise du coté de la porte

Magnificent engraving of the interior of a mausoleum at Palmyra, Syria. 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.
