One of my passions is curating art going back hundreds of years. I love that these postcards offer a peek into history and an inexpensive option for people to frame and enjoy.
This postcard image was adapted from the 'Imperial Edition' of the Description of Egypt or Series observations and research made in Egypt during the French expedition, published by order of His Majesty the Emperor Napoleon Great. The monumental first edition of the Description of Egypt in 13 volumes contained 892 colored plates. More than 80 artists and 400 writers were hired for this huge project.
