| Forty-four authentically detailed drawings by artist John Green recall the glory of a magnificent civilization--from the beginning of the dynasties (ca. 3000 B.C.), through the Old, Middle and New Kingdoms (ca. 2700-1070 B.C.), to the rule of the Ptolemies and the Roman conquest (30 B.C.). Included are expertly drawn and well-researched full-page illustrations of Cleopatra, Ramses II, the Pharaoh Akhenaten and his beautiful wife Nefertiti, as well as scenes depicting many aspects of Egyptian life. This beautifully executed volume not only offers colorists of all ages an entertaining and useful learning tool, but also provides commercial artists with a valuable, yet inexpensive source of copyright-free graphics.
