The view predates that event and shows the city as an active riverine settlement, with minarets, boats and the low Delta landscape arranged across a broad horizon. It is an evocative image of Egypt before the Napoleonic expedition, produced from the observations of the Danish-sponsored Arabian journey. Baurenfeind’s draughtsmanship gives the scene a directness often lacking in more fanciful Oriental views. Rosetta subjects have strong resonance for collectors of Egypt, early travel and the history of antiquarian discovery, even when unrelated to the later inscription itself. The long skyline gives the view notable decorative presence.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53342830264667,"sku":"P-6-111792","price":160.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-6-111792a.jpg?v=1780947930","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/products\/prospect-der-stadt-raschid-view-of-rosetta-rashid-niebuhr-baurenfeind-1773-p-6-111792","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
