Perfect!
I had seen this book in a Cairo hotel lounge and loved it!So, I made sure to write down title, author, SSN #, etc. in order to find it at our local bookstore when we returned home.Yeupp... it was $95.00!I was thrilled when I found it online for a fraction of that cost so I ordered two.Both arrived in a very short period of time in perfect condition so I would use this vendor again.This was the identical book as in Cairo except that it had been printed by a different publisher.Fabulous artist, good commentary -- one of the most interesting that I've seen on Egypt.It's strictly a "coffee table" book rather than a long treatise on ancient Egyptian structures so this lets your mind wander to a time when the Egyptian antiquities were being re-discovered by the European cultures in the 1800's. The addition of current day photos makes an interesting comparison.

Love this book
Love this book.Had never read much about the renewed fascination with Egyptology in the nineteenth century.The David Roberts lithographs are simply beautiful and his journal intriguing.Modern pictures juxtaposed with the old lithographs highlight the amazing feats of reclaiming these Egyptian treasures from desert and water.

Great Gift for Granddaughter
Egypt: Yesterday and Today

After reading this beautifully illustrated table-top book comparing Egyptian scenes of the past and present, we purchased it for our granddaughter who is planning a career as an Egyptologist.The artwork is super, and the narrative is clear and crisp.An outstanding gift.

thank you mister Roberts.
This book is no more available in France (I'm from Paris), and I saw some sketches of David Roberts a trip in Aswan, so wished discover his work. I am delighted with this book. The high quality of printing, the intersting texts (even for a french citizen) are what was expecting. The most spectacular sketches are those of Isis temple that show the paintings on columns and ceiling nowadays disapeared. It is also fascinating to see the evolution of egyptian civilisation from 19th century and today, regarding way of life and architecture.
In one word : thank you mister Roberts.

A good overview of a great artist.
Many books on David Robert's are small or not generous enough to allow you full scope to enjoy his paintings or they focus on his Levantine paintings.

This book is probably the best around that is not to expensive but gives you a feel for his grand Egyptian paintings.Some really nice ones of Sphinx, pyramids and also some of the lesser temples feature.The only other book which is now out of print that deals with this subject well is Peter Clayton's the Re-discovery of Ancient Egypt.Thames and Hudson. ...
