Three volumes. I. Text: Quarto. Pp. xlviii, 209; II-III. Plates: Two Imperial folios with a total of colour 104 plates, 52 in each volume. Hardcover, uniformly bound in the original publisher's cloth, bit rubbed in places. In a very good condition. ~ First edition. An outstanding production. Collotype is one of the most accurate and attractive methods of photomechanical tonal printing processes. Highly skilled and expensive process, it cannot produce more than a limited number of impressions. It has been used for single-sheet prints and luxury portfolios, and since the 1950s has been abandoned by all except a few small specialist firms. Coloured collotypes the size of the plates in this set are very rare in book production, so much so in such superb quality. Reproduced extensively ever since the publication of the book, the grandeur of the original collotypes is breathtaking. Beinlich-Seeber 6273.
Royal quarto. Pp. 71, plus 24 chromolithograph plates, mounted on card and protected with tissue-guards. Plus frontispiece map. With 2 text figures. Hardcover, bound in original publisher's full cloth extra, richly decorated. A fine copy with just few minor blemishes. ~ First English edition. Karl Friedrich Heinrich Werner (1808-1894). Born and trained in Germany, Werner traveled extensively in Egypt and Palestine and produced there many splendid watercolours. The plates in this book are pantographic copies from the original watercolours, traced by mechanical means from the original. This method, however, could not reproduce the fine colouring which was done separately. The plates are accompanied by descriptive texts written mostly by Alfred Brehm (1829-1884) and Johannes Dümichen (1833-1894); both also wrote the preface.

Printed at Chicago House the field headquarters of the Survey in Luxor. "Unlike other methods of reproduction in which an artificial light source is used on a mass-production basis the glass negatives have been exposed individually to direct sunlight on printing-out-paper resulting in minuscule differences among the prints. Each print was then toned in a gold chloride solution. Great care has been taken to produce prints that would have resembled closely those that one might have purchased while journeying through Egypt in the nineteenth century" p. vi. Images include ruins of ancient monuments details of carved and painted temple walls fleets of feluccas palm groves and formal salon poses and ethnographic portraits of Egyptians and Nubians. The three volumes retailed at $2000 each when published in 1992. The Oriental Institute of The University of Chicago hardcover

1891ABC_47521Egypt: Zangaki brothers 1891. Original gold-stamped bubble-grained maroon cloth over boards modern maroon cloth spine and leather corners. Gold stamped title and year on the front white watered silk endpapers. Oblong album 31.5 x 41 cm. With 34 large albumen prints mounted on heavy cardstock leaves.

The Zangaki prints measure 22.5 x 28.5 cm; the Sebah & Joallier one is 20.5 x 26.5 cm. A large German album with 34 albumen prints of Egypt. The Greek brothers G. and C. Zangaki were photographers who worked in Egypt in the second half of the 19th century. Due to increased tourism to this region after the opening of the Suez Canal there was a large demand for souvenir photographs. Photographers like the Zangaki brothers as well as Sebah & Joallier catered to this. The Zangakis were among the first commercial photographers to produce large-scale images of Egypt. They travelled through the country with a portable darkroom to capture high-quality images of famous monuments and daily life though the latter were usually posed. These images were then printed and sold to tourists either separately or compiled into albums. According to John Hannavy the brothers "produced some of the finest images of late Victorian Egypt". The 34 photographs include: the great pyramid Cairo and the Nile dervishes and other exotic looking locals Egyptians standing on top of the sphinx obeliscs the Ramesseum Karnak temple the temple of Dendera the Great Pyramid Egyptians climbing the pyramid the mosque and tomb of Muhammad Ali Saqqara and many others.With two small library stamps on the first page not affecting the photograph. The book has been rebacked. The left side of the front board has faded and the corners are worn. Minor browning around the edges of the leaves. Back flyleaf loose.

First four volumes are from the library of renowned Egyptologist Prof. Dr. Heerma van Voss with his charming bookplate inside cover of each. Earlier small oval private ownership stamp to corner of title of two last volumes. With some of his very neat pencil annotations in margins; very few earlier minute marginal entries in ink. Beinlich-Seeber 18409. [AND:] The Übersetzung und Kommentar was published posthumously. The first four volumes, Spruch 213-506, were published a year after Sethe's death. Sethe's original manuscript was transferred to print by an old, now defunct method called "Manuldruck", also known as "Reflex Copying Process". The four volumes were printed by the inventor of this method, the printers' firm Max Ullman of Zwicaku. In 1962 appeared by Augustin Volume V, Spruch 507-582, to be followed the same year by Volume VI, Index. Also these two volumes are presented here in the first edition, to be distinguished from the second edition of the entire work which also appeared that year. Some of the volumes here occasionally with light marginal annotations in pencil or light pen, few cases within the text, some underlining, few cases in light colour crayon, all in the characteristic neat hand of Prof. Dr. Herman te Velde from whose library this wonderful set comes.
