A dissertation on the calendar and zodiac of ancient Egypt : with remarks on the first introduction and use of the zodiac among the Greeks
William Mure's 1832 scholarly dissertation on the Egyptian calendar and zodiac, published in Edinburgh by Bell & Bradfute for antiquarians and classical scholars. Outline engravings copy tomb and temple reliefs: seated and striding figures, animal-headed deities, star grids and zodiac ceilings, hieroglyphic cartouches, giving designers clean unshaded contour drawings usable as line motifs or silhouettes.
