3e. Ve.

Magnificent engraving showing four figures looking into an unexcavated ruin. The ruin is almost submerged in the ground and covered with vegetation. Louis-François Cassas’ 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.
