Atlas of Egyptian Art

This enchanting tour of Egyptian art by one of its early explorers is one of the most beautiful modern works on ancient Egyptian art. Prisse d'Avennes' monumental work, first published in Paris over a 10-year period between 1868 and 1878, includes the only surviving record of many lost artifacts.

Emile Prisse d'Avennes (1807-79), a colossal figure in Egyptian studies, is also the author of Islamic Art in Cairo, as well as dozens of articles and reports on a variety of subjects.
