Coloring: Shown here in original lithographic colors, with added hand coloring of highlights.

Comments: A very scenic half-folio of the Fortress of Ibrim, which stood guard in ancient times over the traffic along the Nile. Even this fort was submerged by the waters of lake Nasser, giving some idea of the height to which these waters rose behind the Aswan High Dam.
