Egipto by David Roberts
Este pequeño libro es un excelente compendio de la historia y la leyenda del antiguo Egipto, el Egipto de los faraones, de las pirámides, de la Esfinge, de las misteriosas estelas y de las tumbas del Valle de los Reyes. En sus páginas, aparte de los textos que relatan innumerables datos sobre la vida, usos y costumbres de aquel país en época tan remota que se pierde en las tinieblas de los tiempos, se ofrecen casi una treintena de coloridas ilustraciones, de las tantas, que el detallista y fantástco dibujante David Roberts realizó en aquel viaje a las tierras del Nilo en 1838.… (more)

beautiful fine edition printed on gardapat kiara paper in italy
beautiful fine edition printed on gardapat kiara paper in italy
(Extra-large luxury edition, 52x37x14 cm!) Spectacular reproduction, unprecedented in dimensions & completeness, of the *even* more outsized 1840s classic.
Another outstanding limited edition facsimile from the society, others do exist but not of this print quality, nor entirely reproducing all the plates in color, with the original dedications and introductions, plus maps at the end of each volume. I like the folio society, they do make it affordable to purchase these expensive books by giving members the option to enroll in an interest free payment plan up to 10 months (as for the Roberts books).
