The Description de l'Égypte (1809-1828; 23 vols.) presents the scientific results of Napoleon's expedition to Egypt (1798-1801).
Its remarkable engravings are among the largest ever printed, displaying animals, plants, antiquities, and maps of modern and ancient Egypt.
The exhibition of these and other books opened in October 2006, providing a stunning visual record of one of the most massive
and revelatory scientific expeditions ever undertaken.
