Georg Ebers (1837-1898) was a renowned Egyptologist who popularized the region’s history through both scholarly and lay publications. This work is an example of the latter; it is filled with numerous illustrations of everyday Egyptian life among its ancient ruins. These examples show a Bedouin camp, a Muslim call to prayer, and camel shearing. Images from: Egypt: Descriptive, Historical, and Picturesque by Georg Ebers. Castle and Company, 1878. -- source link
