MONUMENS SITUÉS DANS LA VALLÉE QUI MÉNE A PALMYRE.

Magnificent engraving of Roman ruins in the valley leading to Palmyra. Tombraiders with flaming torches look inside the ruins. 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.
