FROM THE ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: This picture is the companion work in one, by the same artist, entitled » The Golden Horn, Constantinople,» an engraving from which appeared in a former number of this journal. M. Jacobs in, as was then stated, a distinguished member of the Belgian school. A few years ago Egypt was a country which was comparatively unexplored by artists-now it has become a sketching-ground almost as much frequented by them as foreign lands nearer home; and as a result we have become familiarized, through their works, with its scenery, and with the manners and customs of its inhabitants. Moreover, it has been made the great high-road to our East Indian possessions, and the wild Arab of the desert may catch the shrill sound of the steam-whistle as the fleet engine whirls panting and puffing along the burning solitude. People, too, find their way thither who have no other object than the pleasure derived from a summer or autumn tour-who, having explored Europe from Paris to Cape Spartivento, and exhausted all which they consider worthy of attention within these limits, sail over the blue waves of the Mediterranean, disembark on the African coast, and malgre all discomforts and personal inconvenience, follow the windings of that wondrous river, the Nile, till they recline under the ruins of old Thebes, or press onwards to witness the fall of the far-famed Cataracts. A mysterious river is this Nile, defying every attempt of the traveller to trace out its origin. Winding its way from the high lands north of the equator, in three streams of considerable magnitude, which pass through Abyssinia, and other regions to the westward of it, they meet in one vast channel in the country of Sennaar. These united waters then flow northwards through Nubia and Egypt, and after a course of more than eighteen hundred miles from the farthest explored point of its principal branch, the Bahr el Abiad, or White River, they enter the Mediterranean by several months, which are termed the Delta. An American traveler who some years ago formed one of an exploring expedition to Dongola and Sennaar, thus describes the appearance of the river in its course through upper Nubia:-«The Nile, below the point of junction of the Abiad and Azrek»-that is, the White and Blue Rivers-«presents a truly magnificent spectacle. Between Halfay and Shendy the river is straitened, and traverses a deep and gloomy defile formed by high rocky hills, between which the Nile runs dark, deep, and rapidly for about twelve or fifteen miles. On emerging from this defile the river again spreads itself majestically, and flows between immense plains of herbage, bounded only by the horizon.» After entering the Egyptian territories, the Nile runs through the whole length of the country, which it waters and fertilizes-and to it alone is it owing that Egypt exists as a productive and habitable region; hence the ancient Egyptians worshipped the river as their tutelary deity. The rise of the Nile, occasioned by the periodical rains of Central Africa, commences in June, about the summer solstice, and it continues to increase till towards the end of September, and sometimes, as in the last year, till October, overflowing the low lands along its course. We have not been able to ascertain the name of the place that occupies so prominent a position in. M. Jacobs’s picture, but it is evidently in the vicinity of the Great Pyramids, which are seen in the distance; it is, not improbably, a part of Jizeh, a small town standing opposite to Cairo-or, perhaps, Beni Souef, a place of rather more importance, which is situated south of Jizeh. On the river is a number of coasting-boats, one of which, laden with camels and passengers, is preparing to quit her moorings, for a sailor is «weighing anchor» in a way which a British seaman would regard with a contemptuous look. The time of day is morning. The coloring of the picture is its least commendable quality, especially in the shadows, which are opaque and heavy. It is in the collection at Osborne. Please note: the terms used in our auctions for engraving, etching, lithograph, plate, photogravure etc. are ALL prints on paper, and NOT blocks of steel or wood or any other material. «ENGRAVINGS», the term commonly used for these paper prints, were the most common method in the 1700s and 1800s for illustrating old books, and these paper prints or «engravings» were created by the intaglio process of etching the negative of the image into a block of steel, copper, wood etc, and then when inked and pressed onto paper, a print image was created. These prints or engravings were usually inserted into books, although many were also printed and issued as loose stand alone lithographs. They often had a tissue guard or onion skin frontis to protect them from transferring their ink to the opposite page and were usually on much thicker quality woven rag stock paper than the regular prints. So this auction is for an antique paper print(s), probably from an old book, of very high quality and usually on very thick rag stock paper. A RARE FIND! AND GREAT DECORATION FOR YOUR OFFICE OR HOME WALL
