Pharaonic Egypt (Egipto faraónico)

During his trip to Egypt and the Near East (1838-1840), the Scottish painter David Roberts (1796-1864) reproduced important monuments of Pharaonic Egypt. One of those important monuments was Abu Simbel, which, in the 1950s, would be submerged by the Aswan dam, after being partially saved by the intervention of UNESCO.
