5.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating look at the the wonders of Egyptian ruins, 8 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Egypt Yesterday and Today: Lithographs and Diaries by David Roberts R.A. (Hardcover)
As a lover of Egyptian history and of the works of the 19th century artist, David Roberts, this book shows the before and after of these ancient sites after excavation as never seen before. The wonderful and romantic images from Roberts as were first seen when he travelled to Egypt, are contrasted with current photographs of the same sites. Although saving these monuments to the ancient past is most important to the world , one can't help but to wish to come upon these wonders when Roberts captured them in his drawings. Truely a must for anyone who has been to Egypt, or simply wants to arm travel through history.A large book with full color plates.

4.0 out of 5 stars for roberts fans, 25 Dec 2005
By Alwyn (Loughborough UK) - See all my reviews
A lovely book with each print spread over two pages which is both its strenght and weakness. The size of print is good, this is a large "coffee-table" size after all. However, it does mean that the prints are often interrupted by the book fold. The narative gives a nice background feel to Roberts' journey and there are modern photos of the general locale (though not always the exact same view which would be difficult). The modern views make a good contrast, some have changed little, others are almost unrecognisable, but many just have gained modern trappings; pick-up trucks to replace camels etc.

If you are a fan of Roberts this is a good buy
