Limited edition, number 1394/2000. These volumes were sold as subscriptions. Stunning chromolithographic illustrations of Egyptian splendors: Thebes, Karnak, Dendera, Cleopatra's Needle, Hathric Column, Luxor, sarcophagi, papyri and much more. Many plates are tinted or in beautiful full color. Each is preceded by a page of introductory text. All plates and text pages are individual/unbound and suitable for framing. Any areas of light damage to edges would not affect framing. Although this set consists of Volumes 2 and 3, there appears to be no Volume 1, and the number of plates agrees with a later, bound edition of this publication. This edition was put forth by subscription, and the later edition as two bound volumes, in leather. The plates in this edition, however, are larger and of a better quality color than the bound edition. Divisions are as follows: Vol. 2, Section One, Plates 1-12; Vol. 2, Section Two, Plates 13-24; Vol. 2, Section Three, Plates 25-36; Vol. 2, Section Four, Plates 37-49 (47 missing); Vol. 3, Section One, Plates 1-12; Vol. 3, Section Two, Plates 13-24 (22 missing). The two missing plates are the following: Vol II Plate XLVII (47) - The Hall of Columns (Hypostyle Hall) of the Great Temple of Karnak Vol III Plate XXII (22) - Perspective View of the Interior of the Temple at Deir-El-Medineh.
