First printed in Bulletin du Cercle des Alumni de la Fondation Universitaire 1931. Jean Capart 1877-1947. Presented to the Fondation Universitaire upon returning from a stay in the U.S.A.

It examines some of the points in the Dawes Plan with extraordinary detail. Shading a light on a practically unknown activity of the "Father of Belgian Egyptology" this document is of great interest to the study of the economic history of Belgium and the history of foreign relations of the United States as well as a milestone in the extraordinary career of Capart.

[Pyramids of Egypt: William Lydiard, Master's Mate of HM Prison Ship San Ysidro, Plymouth Dock [Earl of Leicester, President ofBiblio.com

Pyramids of Egypt. Substantial Conclusion of Autograph Letter Signed from ‘William Lydiard - / Master’s Mate of HM Prison Ship San Ysidro’ to the Earl of Leicester suggesting after the fall of Alexandria that ‘these mysterious piles’ be opened.

25889Undated but on Britannia paper watermarked 1805; and the San Ysidro was a prison ship at Plymouth between May 1805 and September 1814. Napoleon’s Egyptian Campaign 1798-1801 inspired a period of ‘Egyptomania’ culminating in Champollion’s decipherment of the Rossetta Stone. The contribution of the author of this letter to this outpouring of scholarly activity is an offer to the President of the Society of Antiquaries of London to blow up one of the pyramids in order to extract their contents. See the recipient’s entry in the Oxford DNB. 3pp 8vo. Bifolium of laid Britannia paper watermarked 1805. Fifty-five lines well laid out and written in a neat and stylish hand. In fair condition somewhat grubby and warn folded into a packet. Addressed to ‘The Right Honorable the Earl of Leicester. / F.R.S. / President of the Society of Antiquaries / London.’ Signed: ‘Wm. Lydiard - / Master’s Mate of HM Prison Ship San Ysidro / Plymo’ Dock’. The text begins: ‘. excess of servility and drudgery to which they were driven even to the making of Brick and other debasing services; some writers have from thence inferred that the Pyramids being of stone is a proof that they were not founded by them no work of that kind being recorded: but is it not recorded that they built Treasure Cities’ He proceeds to discuss whether as ‘Some authors affirm’ the pyramids are ‘the Tombs of Kings’. He states that he was ‘a few days since’ ‘furnished with the official account of the capture of Alexandria’ The French garrison at Alexandria had surrendered to the British on 2 September 1801. and that ‘it immediately struck me with a desire of troubling you on this subject with the view of observing to you that if it is the intention of government to follow up their success in that quarter; whether this may not afford a good opportunity for opening one or two of these mysterious piles’ Warming to his theme he continues: ‘it surely can be done - gunpowder has a speedy effect in operations of this nature - the trouble might not be small but I certainly would not hesitate to undertake the performance of it neither can I imagine I would take any very considerable time or expense to execute it.’ After this surprising offer he goes some way to redeeming himself by stating: ‘There may be some valuable remains of antiquity deposited in those closed which may materially tend to the illustration of the ancient history manners or customs of the Egyptians’. He ends with reference to ‘sacred Scripture’ and the ‘plundering of the Temple by Shishak’.

At the height of his rule in 1840 he controlled Egypt Sudan Hejaz the Levant Crete and parts of Greece and transformed Cairo from a mere Ottoman provincial capital to the center of an expansive empire. Ali was a military commander in an Albanian Ottoman force sent to recover Egypt from French occupation following Napoleon's withdrawal.

As W li Ali attempted to modernize Egypt by instituting dramatic reforms in the military economic and cultural spheres. He also initiated a violent purge of the Mamluks consolidating his rule and permanently ending the Mamluk hold over Egypt. Militarily Ali recaptured the Arabian territories for the sultan and conquered Sudan of his own accord. In 1831 Ali waged war against the sultan capturing Syria crossing into Anatolia and directly threatening Constantinople.

1875ABC_46596Egypt 1875. A single oblong board 30 x 40 cm. Zangaki brothers 2 albumen photographic prints mounted on one board 1 on each side approx. 225 x 28 cm. 2 albumen photographic prints of a view of the Nile with pyramids in the background and the Al-Azhar mosque in Cairo by the Zangaki brothers "Adelphoi Zangaki" who were two photographers of Greek origin active in Egypt from ca. 1870 until the beginning of the 20th century. They can be grouped together with other commercial photographers who worked in Egypt during the second half of the 19th century. These photographers such as Félix Bonfils Gustave le Gray and others who were mostly of French origin were able to capitalise on the rising demand for photographic prints as souvenirs. Photographers like the Zangaki brothers often sold the albumen prints from their studios located in cities like Port Said Cairo and Suez but produced the actual photographs using the collodion process in a portable darkroom - a cart or sometimes even a boat - in the field.The brothers were quite prolific producing at least 1500 photographs of Egypt and other regions of the Middle East during the span of a few decades around the turn of the 20th century. Since these photographs were taken with the purpose of creating prints for tourists the subjects are often "quintessentially Egyptian" and sights such as the pyramids along the Nile river are captured. However they also provide a glimpse into Egyptian daily life or occasionally one can sneak a peek at one the photographers and their portable darkroom. Not much is known about the Zangaki brothers and until quite recently people thought that the photographic prints signed "Zangaki" were produced by one single person. With a tear in the lower margin not affecting the photographs some foxing remnants of white tape to one of the side margins of the board with a small blue ink mark below an inscription "Mosque of El Azhar." in the margin below the photograph of said mosque.

Beautifully hand-coloured to the highest standards of the time. An example in excellent condition clean fresh beautifully preserved. FROM One of the most desirable of all travel and COLOURplate books. A very beautiful image of the the Island of Philae from the Nile at Sunset. In the foreground are reeds and a sailboat behind which can be seen in near silhouette the Temple of Isis on the island. Philae was accounted to be one of the burying-places of Osiris and was held in high reverence both by the Egyptians to the north and the Nubians to the south. It was deemed profane for any but priests to dwell there and was accordingly sequestered and denominated "the Unapproachable." This is a view now un-viewable to modern eyes. Due to decades of constant flooding of Philae after the construction of the Aswan Low Dam every building was dismantled into about 40000 units and then transported to higher ground on the nearby island of Agilkia.
