This book is much more than a simple history of the land of the pharaohs: it is an outstanding collection of drawings, prints and etchings handed down thruogh the centuries. Revealed in these unique pictures is Egypt as it appeared to great figures and observant visitors from the past: Greeks, Romans, Crusaders; Napoleon and the Consuls; naturalists and scholars, adventurers, artists and diplomats. Each one has left his own original, masterly and sometimes fanciful interpretation of a civilization that continues to fascinate and amaze.

Two prestigious books offer new insights on fascinating places. Hinged on the talents of the Scottish landascape painter David Roberts, they take the form of a continuous parallel with present-day reality. Prints of works by this traveller and artist appear, in chronological order, side-by-side with superb photographs of the same subjects, taken more than 150 years later. The Holy Land, Yesterday and Today is an inspiring and moving journey through time amid the mysteries of a deeply troubled region; Egypt, Yesterday and Today instead takes its readers on an exploration of the land of the pharaohs, from Alexandria to Abu Simbel.
