The plan and sections show the chambers, heating arrangements and internal layout of the oven, turning a surprising agricultural practice into a clear technical diagram. The subject has considerable charm: it combines natural history, rural economy, engineering and travel observation, and demonstrates Niebuhr’s interest in how things actually worked. It is far more than a novelty image, offering documentary evidence of a long-established technology that fascinated European readers. The original explanatory text pages are not available with this print, but we include a legend sheet transcribing the original German key with English translation.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53342831313243,"sku":"P-6-111804","price":41.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-6-111804a.jpg?v=1780947940","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/fr\/products\/abbildung-ofens-fur-eyer-egyptian-egg-hatchery-oven-niebuhr-de-fehrt-1773-p-6-111804","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
