Illustration from: Roberts, David; Haghe, Louis (1849). Egypt and Numbia from drawings made on the spot by David Roberts, RA with historic descriptions by William Brockerdon F.R.S. Lithography by Louis Haghe, Volume 3. London: F.G. Moon. (= The Holy Land: Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia, Volume 6) Page 14, plate 8. Scan from the library of the University of Heidelberg. The image has been rotated and cropped. Other scans are available online:

  • Wellcome Images V0049362. Higher resolution but very dark and with desaturated colours.
  • Library of Congress Prints and Photographs cph.3g04049. Lower resolution scan of a colour transparency. The colouring is good - particularly of the clothing (after adjustment using the wedge). The edition of the book appears to differ from that used for the Heidelberg University scan. The LoC image includes a boundary box and lacks the legend "London, Published by F.G. Moon 20 Threadneedle St. Decr1st1848."
  • Internet Archive. Taken from a reprint published in 1855. The lithograph is an almost identical (writing and signature are different) but the colouring is poor - almost monochrome.
