Traveling in Egypt and Nubia in 1834-1835 Norov A.S.

Heritage of Abraham Norov is extremely large, but “Journey through Egypt and Nubia in 1834-1835”, which serves as an addition to the “Traveling in the Holy Land”, which saw the light in two parts in 1840, occupies a special place in it and has become a special place Undoubtedly his most famous work. As the outstanding Russian Egyptologist O.D. Berlev wrote absolutely correctly, this is certainly “the best of all that Russian travelers wrote about Egypt.” It organically complemented by the amazing lithographs of the famous Scottish traveler and artist David Roberts. The ingenious self-taught and at the same time one of the most famous craftsmen of the XIX century, he took a trip to Egypt and Palestine in 1838, four years later by A. Norov. Therefore, the dialogue of contemporaries - the text of Abraham Norov and the illustrations of David Roberts is especially valuable: he retained for the descendants untouched, incredibly beautiful and, alas, forever lost Egypt of the 19th century.
