Note

  • This event probably took place on 22 September 1828 and is recorded in Champollion's journal.
  • Another and slightly different version of this sketch is still with the family; it is a pen and ink sketch and the pencil note reads: 'Kiosk on the Nile at Old Cairo / Servants (standing) [?] (standing) Duke of Northumberland (= Lord Prudhoe, seated) Champollion (seated) Defterdar Bay (seated) [?] (standing) Bonomi (seated)'.
  • Other versions existed, including at least one in colour, as stated in a letter dated 26 May 1831 from Joseph Bonomi, Cairo, to Lord Prudhoe, Northumberland House, London.
  • We are grateful to Neil Cooke for corrections and this additional information.
