1809rif. 34489London: William Miller 1809. Hand-colored aquatint by Daniel Havell. Sheet: 21 1/4 x 29 inches. Mild bubbling in places. This view of Cairo from a hilltop near the Citadel shows Old Cairo with its walls domed buildings and minarets. Across the Nile in the hazy distance are the pyramids of Giza. Heny Salt later returned to Cairo as consul-general for the British. Henry Salt artist traveller diplomat and collector of antiquities was born at Lichfield Staffordshire England 14 June 1780. He was destined to be a portrait-painter and on leaving school was taught drawing by Glover the watercolour-painter of Lichfield. In 1797 he went to London and became a pupil of Joseph Farington R.A. and in 1800 of John Hoppner R.A. The turning point in his career was 3 June 1802 when Salt left London for an eastern tour with George viscount Valentia afterwards Lord Mountnorris whom he accompanied as secretary and draughtsman. He visited the Cape India Sri Lanka and in 1805 Abyssinia returning to England on 26 Oct. 1806. He made many drawings some of which served to illustrate Lord Valentia's Voyages and Travels to India published in 1809. The present image is from a work titled Twenty-four Views in St. Helena the Cape India Ceylon the Red Sea Abyssinia and Egypt published by William Miller with hand-coloured aquatints by D. Havell and J. Bluck from Salt's own drawings. The originals of all these drawings were retained by Lord Valentia who also retained the ownership of the copper plates after Salt's death. The format and style of presentation of the plates is similar to Thomas and William Daniell's great work Oriental Scenery 1795-1808 and displays great artistry by both Salt and his engravers.

A fresh clean copy of the set of Salt's very fine large format views of India Abyssinia Egypt and elsewhere. Salt visited the Cape India and the Red Sea. In Calcutta the party was entertained by the Governor-General Lord Wellesley the dedicatee of the present work and then travelled to Benares Lucknow Ceylon and Madras. Salt then explored the Red Sea returned to Bombay and Poona to the Red Sea again before making an extensive excursion into the Abyssinian highlands here represented by six views. Contemporary advertisements make clear that the work was designed to be similar in size and presentation to the plates of Thomas and William Daniell's great work Oriental Scenery 1795-1808: the undoubted artistry of Salt and his engravers has ensured that this work is a worthy successor. A quarto text volume with the same title was published by Miller in the same year. Abbey Travel 515; Bobins 112; Tooley 440 the text 'is not important and the work is usually to be found without it'.
