LA DESCRIPTION DE L'EGYPTE IMPERIAL edition 1809-1829 : La Description de l'Egypte is one of the masterpieces of French publishing and the starting point of a new science: Egyptology. A titanic exposition of Egypt at the time of Bonaparte's conquests between 1798 and 1799 it is divided into 23 volumes including 13 volumes of engravings gathering nearly 1000 plates in black and 72 in color. The 6 volumes of plates entitled Antiquités are devoted to the splendors of Pharaonic Egypt. L'Histoire naturelle is divided into 3 volumes of engravings. One volume is devoted to Cartes géographiques et topographiques while the 3 volumes : Etat Moderne present a striking portrait of Coptic and Islamic Egypt as it was seen by Bonaparte's Army of the Orient. The ""Egyptian campaign"" a military disaster reveals through the engravings of the Description de l'Egypte the scientific success it became thanks to the some 167 scholars members of the Commission of Sciences and Arts of the Institute of Egypt who followed Napoleon's army. The Institute brought together in Egypt the mathematician Monge the chemist Berthollet the naturalist Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire as well as numerous artists engineers architects doctors. They were charged with rediscovering modern and ancient Egypt showing its natural riches and the know-how of its inhabitants. The first edition called ""Imperial"" of the Description de l'Egypte was executed in four large formats two of them specially created for it and named ""Moyen-Egypte"" and ""Grand-Egypte"" formats. A specific press was built for its printing which extended over twenty years between 1809 and 1829. The Imperial edition proved so popular that a second edition in 37 volumes entirely in black and without the ""Egypte ancienne et moderne"" watermark called the ""Panckoucke"" edition was published from 1821 by the C.-L.-F. Panckoucke printing house Paris. The realization of this monument of erudition owes much to Baron Dominique Vivant Denon illustrator diplomat collector and subsequently director of the Napoleon Museum at the Louvre who accompanied Napoleon to Egypt with many other scholars but decided alone to venture into the South of the country while the other invited scientists remained confined to the Cairo region. The fabulous sketches brought back by Denon during his romantic ride gave Bonaparte the idea of sending the other members of the Institute there and thus creating a faithful and complete portrait of the territory. Following Denon it was therefore the gr Imprimerie Impériale unknown

ISLAMIC ARCHITECTURE OF CAIRO : The set of engravings to which this plate belongs constitutes one of the first reasoned studies of the monuments of Islamic Egypt in Cairo gathering plans sections and elevations of mosques mausoleums and fortifications from the 9th century Tulunid period to the Mamluk constructions contemporary with the arrival of Bonaparte's troops. Furthermore the architects and engineers of the Institute of Egypt realized a large series of plates devoted to dwellings and civil constructions whether of grand or more modest execution providing precious testimony on the life of Cairenes at the end of the 19th century. The few ancient vestiges remaining in the city were also immortalized by the scholars of the Institute who had established their quarters in the capital.
