Maspero, G. (Gaston), 1846-1916, Egypt. Maslahat al-Athar · 1912 · Le Caire : Imprimerie de l'Institut français d'archéologie orientale · 1 picture

A folio of survey documents on the temples of Nubia, issued in 1912 by Egypt's Service des Antiquités under Gaston Maspero and printed in Cairo by the Institut français d'archéologie orientale for archaeologists and architects. The plates are measured architectural drawings in fine ink line with flat grey wash: plans with dashed reconstruction lines, wall elevations showing stone coursing, column bases and doorways, and cornice profiles usable as clean structural line art.
