Back cover
Añadir al portapapeles
Back cover with green leather binding.
Philae from the north
Añadir al portapapeles
Watercolour in its original mount, showing the temples on Philae Island, viewed from the north-west.
The watercolour is captioned on the mount, once below the watercolour and again on the verso . The captions are both the same but are written in two different hands: "Philæ from the North."
Although the watercolour is not signed, it was most certainly painted by Amelia A. B. Edwards.
