Lot 693
Vintage Lot of Five Beato Views of Ancient Egypt. These prints are as those in previous lot. Here we see: The temple at Kardosse, Nubia, with the startling Hathor-head capitals; a splendid relief at Komombos showing Horus receiving Ptolemy V and his queen, Cleopatra I; a great, historical view of the Sphinx and pyramids at Giza, still deeply covered in sand; an interesting scene with a pharaoh and kneeling queen in a boat, facing a god, all of their faces purposefully obliterated in antiquity; and lastly, an interior shot of the tomb of Seti I(?), with ram-headed Khnum in a shrine, carried by boat, which is enveloped by a huge snake. Lot of 5 pieces. This a very good group indeed!
Estimated Value $175 - 300.
