Ibrahim-Hilmy II, 138-140. - D'Avennes spent many years in Egypt after 1826, first as an engineer in the service of Mehmet Ali. After 1836 he explored Egypt disguised as an Arab and using the name Edris Effendi; during this period he carried out archaeological excavations in the valley of the Nile. In 1860, Prisse d'Avennes returned to France with a wealth of documentation and drawings, which he subsequently had reproduced by specially trained draughtsmen and published in this monumental set. "Arab Art", however, is more than a monument to the author's tenacity, skill, and devotion. - Es fehlen 92 Taf. u. der Textband. Taf. tls. mit Randläsuren u. etw. fl. - Dabei: Ders. Oriental art...
