Egypt, Nubia, and Ethiopia - Francis Frith

Excerpt from Egypt, Nubia, and Ethiopia: Illustrated by One Hundred Stereoscopic Photographs
The history of some nations is written in their wars and conquests, of other nations, in their literature but in the case of Egypt, as distinguished from Alexandria, its history is to be studied in its noble buildings, its tombs, made in imitation of mountains; its temples hollowed out of the rock, and its rocks shaped into colossal statues. Of these the reader here has a series of views which cannot be but faithful. The descriptions of them are by Mr. Joseph Bonomi, whose residence of twelve years in the country, and continued attention to Egyptian art, entitle his words to our full confidence.
