About the Item

The engraving shows the majestic ruins of the Palace of Luxor, located in the village of Luxor near the site of ancient Thebes in Upper Egypt. Luxor was once a flourishing city and the pharaonic capital, known for its high social status and as a center of art, culture, and religion. The artwork captures the towering obelisks and grandeur of the remaining structures, which were part of the temple complex dedicated to the Theban triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu. Description: This is a circa 1801 copperplate engraving from George Alexander Cooke's "Universal Geography" . The print is part of George Alexander Cooke's comprehensive work "A Modern and Authentic System of Universal Geography." This book was a significant compilation of geographical knowledge during the late 18th century, offering descriptions and accounts of various parts of the world, influenced by the age of exploration. It includes narratives of famed explorers like Captain James Cook and Ferdinand Magellan, detailing their discoveries and journeys that expanded the European understanding of the globe. Cooke's work served as both a chronicle and reference for the territories and cultures encountered by these voyagers.
