Set of Six 19th Century Framed Etchings %%alt5%% %%alt6%%
A set of six framed etchings depicting scenes and artefacts from Napoleon's scientific voyage to Egypt.

General Bonaparte left for Egypt at the end of spring in 1798, taking with him 50,000 men and eight hundred horses. This force included 160 scientists, engineers and artists whose task it was to study everything there was to find out about Egypt.

The engravings where probably made by Nicolas Conté who was an ingenious inventor who designed an engraving machine that allowed the 'Description de l'Eygpt' to be printed. He was noted for his exceptional manual dexterity. “He had all of the sciences in his head and all of the arts in his hand,” according to a saying often attributed to Napoleon Bonaparte.
