Pyramids, waterfalls and distant cities show the range of these prints by William Marshall Craig, a book illustrator active around the turn of the nineteenth century whose drawings were engraved on copper for publishers including Brightly and Kinnersley of Bungay. The Egyptian subjects include the pyramids and Sphinx, ruins opposite Karnak and figures identified as a Mamluk and Turks. The falls at Schaffhausen and the Staubbach, views of Copenhagen and Astrakhan, and a later historical scene involving George III complete the group.
