Book Overview
Atlas of Egyptian Art is a digital edition of the celebrated album by E. Prisse d’Avennes. The book features plates and drawings from the author’s expeditions across Egypt and Nubia, covering temples, tombs, ornaments, and architectural details. It is intended for Egyptologists, art historians, designers, and general readers interested in ancient Egyptian art.
What You’ll Discover Inside
- Plates based on Prisse d’Avennes’s surveys of Egyptian monuments, from temples to rock tombs.
- Drawings and reconstructions of architecture and ornament, including material no longer visible today.
- An introduction by Maarten J. Raven tracing Prisse d’Avennes’s life and his two Egyptian expeditions.

- A compact PDF layout of the 176-page reprint edition.
Why This Book Matters
Prisse d’Avennes produced some of the first reliable drawings of Egyptian architecture and ornaments. His work is frequently cited because it preserves evidence of wall paintings and structures that have since vanished. This digital reprint keeps that record accessible to a new generation of readers.
