The subject is modest but unusually informative: Niebuhr records not a famous monument, but the mechanism of everyday production, giving the arrangement of the horse, gearing, millstones and working structure. Such plates are valuable because they show the expedition’s practical curiosity about machinery, labour and urban economy, not merely antiquities or scenery. The combination of ground plan and elevation makes the mechanism intelligible and gives the sheet strong appeal for collectors of early technology, engineering, Egypt and ethnographic travel. 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":53342831149403,"sku":"P-6-111802","price":41.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-6-111802a.jpg?v=1780947938","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/fr\/products\/grund-und-aufrisz-pferde-muhle-cairo-horse-mill-plan-niebuhr-de-fehrt-1773-p-6-111802","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
