Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Seven Days Says:

Thirty large, detailed, engraved illustrations from the 23-volume Description de l'Egypte, a study of ancient and modern Egypt initiated under the reign of General Napoleon Bonaparte, this exhibition explores nearly every aspect of the north African country and underscores the resulting passion in the West for all things Egyptian. Also included are paintings and drawings influenced by the book's publication, letters and documents from the time of Napoleon's contact with Egypt, and other artifacts.
