BINION'S MONUMENTAL EGYPTIAN PLATE BOOK, FIRST EDITION, NUMBER 331 OF 800 EDITION DE LUXE COPIES, WITH 72 SUPERB ELEPHANT FOLIO EGYPTIAN PLATES, MANY IN COLOUR, of pyramids, temples, views, the Sphinx, antiquities, mummies, papyri, among other Egyptian subjects, including 50 beautiful tinted and full-colour lithographs. This spectacular production by the American Egyptologist Samuel Binion was considered the height of American chromolithography. Most of the huge plates are based on one of four major volumes of Egyptian travel and antiquities from the Napoleonic era through the mid -19th century: David Roberts' "Egypt and the Holy Land", Prisse d'Avennes's "Oriental Album", Lepsius's "Denkmäler aus Ägypten und Äthiopen", and the Napoleon-commissioned "Description de l'Égypte". Of particular beauty are the fully coloured architectural reconstruction plates of Egyptian temples, and a splendid rendition of Cleopatra's Needle. Mizraïm was originally issued in 12 parts in wrappers; here the parts have been bound together into four volumes, each with its own lithographic title page. Bibliographic references: Blackmer 143; not in Atabey or Hilmy. #33761.
