The rocky cliffs dominate the background, while Nile boats glide across the foreground, creating a strong contrast between human movement and geological permanence. The subject combines natural history, religious tradition, and travel observation, illustrating the layered cultural landscape encountered by 18th-century explorers. Such views are highly desirable for collectors interested in early Christian sites in Egypt and for interiors that benefit from dramatic yet balanced horizontal imagery. Condition report: Good antique condition. Light age toning and minor surface marks. Plate mark visible. Framing tips: A darker mat or frame can emphasize the dramatic cliff formations without overpowering the engraving. Technique: Copper engraving Maker: Frederik Ludvig Norden, Copenhagen, circa 1755 See less
