His exploration of the South of Egypt gave Bonaparte the idea of sending the experts of the Institut there thus creating a faithful and complete portrait of the area. This was the research gathered together from 1802 in the mammoth Description de L'Egypte.Denon embarked on this story of archeological exploration at the age of 51 reaching first Alexandria and then Cairo before exploring Upper Egypt.

‎Épinal: Pellerin 1890. Fine. Pellerin Épinal s. d. circa 1880-1900 49 x 39 cm Image d'Épinal color lithograph large format printed on heavy paper. Fine condition colors very well preserved. These plates are cardboard constructions or models on which a pattern was printed. This pattern must be cut out and then assembled to construct various objects or life scenes. The Épinal imagery published several series of cut-out models including the ""Grandes Constructions"" in 39 x 49 cm format the ""Moyennes Constructions"" and the ""Petites Constructions"". From 1880 to 1908 constructions were published featuring architecture costumes ships and various vehicles. During this same period paper theaters or ""théâtre chez soi"" also enjoyed great success. This toy model developed and endured until the Second World War. Once sold by peddlers the images d'Épinal owe their name to Jean-Charles Pellerin who was the first printer to publish this type of image in series and who lived in the town of Épinal Vosges. The subjects are very varied but generally revolve around religion history French Revolution battles military uniforms or drawn from successful novels. The imagery of Épinal has its origins in imagery a popular art born in the 15th century intended mainly for the illiterate rural public. Originally the image is engraved on a wooden plate and printing is carried out using a hand press. It is then colored by means of stencils. In the 19th century lead castings called stereotypes were made from the engraved wood blocks which allowed production to be increased. In 1820 lithography was adopted which brought about a radical change in style with finer drawings. In 1900 coloring was still done by stencil thanks to a machine that could color 300 images per hour the Aquatype. Pellerin unknown‎

Volume ETAT MODERNE II: The genius of the Institute's scholars is particularly revealed through the plates of the section called Egypte Moderne. Architecture industry social structures sanitary conditions water management music craftsmanship are presented with exceptional precision and graphic quality. The spirit of Diderot and d'Alembert's L'Encyclopédie remains underlying in the approach of the draftsmen of the Description de L'Egypte who accompany the text volumes with numerous detailed plates endeavoring to create a portrait of the populations imbued with beauty and respect. Wealthy pashas or simple potter artisans are represented with sensitivity going about their occupations amid aesthetic compositions without falling into idealism or caricature. 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 titled Antiquités are devoted to the splendors of pharaonic Egypt. L'Histoire naturelle is distributed across 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 armies 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 physicians. They were charged with rediscovering modern and ancient Egypt showing its natural riches and the expertise of its inhabitants. The first edition called ""Imperial"" of the Description de l'Egypte was produced 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 later director of the Napoleon Museum of the Louvre who accompanied Napoleon to Egypt with numerous 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 to send the other members of the Institute there and thus create a faithful and complete portrait of the territory.

The Épinal print works published several series of cut-out models including the ""Grandes Constructions"" in 39 x 49 cm format the ""Moyennes Constructions"" and the ""Petites Constructions"". From 1880 to 1908 constructions were published featuring architecture costumes ships and various vehicles. During this same period paper theaters or ""théâtre chez soi"" also enjoyed great success. This type of toy developed and endured until the Second World War. Formerly sold by peddlers Épinal prints owe their name to Jean-Charles Pellerin who was the first printer to publish this type of image in series and who lived in the town of Épinal Vosges. The subjects are very varied but generally revolve around religion history French Revolution battles military uniforms or drawn from successful novels. Épinal imagery takes its origins in imagery a popular art born in the 15th century intended primarily for the illiterate rural public. Originally the image is engraved on a wooden plate and printing is carried out using a hand press. It is then colored using stencils. In the 19th century lead castings were made from the engraved wood blocks: stereotypes which allowed production to be increased. In 1820 lithography was adopted which induced a radical change in style with finer drawings. In 1900 coloring was still done by stencil thanks to a machine that could color 300 images per hour the Aquatype. Pellerin unknown‎

THE DESCRIPTION DE L'EGYPTE IMPERIAL edition 1809-1829: The 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. Natural History is divided into 3 volumes of engravings. One volume is devoted to Geographical and topographical maps while the 3 volumes : Modern State present a striking portrait of Coptic and Islamic Egypt as it was seen by Bonaparte's armies 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 approximately 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 watermark ""Égypte ancienne et moderne"" 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 Napoleon's Louvre museum who accompanied Napoleon to Egypt with many other scholars but alone decided 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 from his romantic ride gave Bonaparte the idea to send the other members of the Institute there and thus draw a faithful and complete portrait of the territory. Following Denon it was therefore the greatest French scientists and artists who ventured along the Nile as far as Nubia. Amo Imprimerie Impériale unknown‎

Light and marginal foxing not affecting the engraving otherwise very fine condition and preservation. DENDERAH: The scholars executed views and surveys of the temples of Denderah or Tentyris a city in Upper Egypt situated 60 km north of Luxor. They rendered with exceptional graphic quality the thick and round aspect of the sculpted reliefs of the great temple of Hathor built under the Ptolemies during the first half of the 1st century BCE. They also provided interesting views of the neighboring temples as well as a selection of reliefs from ""l'appartement du zodiaque"" a chapel dedicated to Osiris and situated above the temple of Hathor. Its famous astronomical relief was discovered by General Desaix dispatched by Napoleon in 1798 but was only brought back to France by Claude Lelorrain in 1821. It is now displayed at the Louvre Museum. Another astronomical and cosmological relief covering the ceiling of the hypostyle hall of the temple of Hathor is the subject of a magnificent plate executed by Jollois and Devilliers. They documented the seven soffits coffers of the ceiling an immense allegorical representation that describes several levels of knowledge: that of cosmogony of constellations and their reflection on Earth of the creation of Man and of the nomes of Egypt symbolized by 21 pairs of wings crowned with the red crown of Lower Egypt or the white tiara of Upper Egypt.

A tiny corner chip otherwise handsome condition colors very well preserved. These sheets are cardboard constructions or models on which a pattern was printed. This pattern must be cut out then assembled to construct various objects or life scenes. The Épinal imagery published several series of cut-out models including the ""Grandes Constructions"" in 39 x 49 cm format the ""Moyennes Constructions"" and the ""Petites Constructions"". From 1880 to 1908 constructions were published featuring architecture costumes boats and various vehicles. During this same period paper theaters or ""théâtre chez soi"" also enjoyed great success. This toy model developed and lasted until the Second World War. Once sold by peddlers the Épinal prints owe their name to Jean-Charles Pellerin who was the first printer to publish this type of image in series and who lived in the town of Épinal Vosges. The subjects are very varied but generally revolve around religion history French Revolution battles military uniforms or drawn from successful novels. Épinal imagery takes its origins in popular art imagery born in the 15th century intended mainly for the illiterate rural public. Originally the image is engraved on a wooden board and printing is done using a hand press. It is then colored using stencils. In the 19th century lead castings were made from the engraved wood: the stereotypes which allowed production to be increased. In 1820 lithography was adopted which induced a radical style change with finer drawings. In 1900 coloring was still done with stencils thanks to a machine that could color 300 images per hour the Aquatype. Pellerin unknown‎
