About the Item

The engraving depicts the intricately carved inner door of the sanctuary of the Temple of Isis located in Tentyra (modern Dendera), Upper Egypt. This temple was dedicated to the goddess Isis, a major deity in the ancient Egyptian pantheon. The door is framed by hieroglyphic inscriptions and figures of deities, exemplifying the rich iconography of ancient Egyptian religious architecture. 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.
