Synopsis
Contributing Authors

Pour la premiere fois, les planches lithographiques connues a ce jour que Jean-Jacques Rifaud (1786-1852) a consacrees a l’Egypte sont publiees dans leur integralite. Au cours de son long sejour en Egypte (pres de treize ans), sur de lui, il ambitionne de faire, seul, une publication ” Voyage en Egypte, en Nubie et lieux circonvoisins ” qui completerait la fameuse ” Description de l’Egypte ” realisee par les nombreux savants de l’Expedition francaise. Projet demesure qu’il ne pourra pas finaliser bien qu’il reussisse toutefois a imprimer quelque 222 planches. En revanche, le texte destine a les accompagner ne verra jamais le jour. A l’instar de la ” Description de l’Egypte “, les planches concernent les antiquites egyptiennes, l’histoire naturelle (botanique et zoologie) et l’ethnographie. Cet aventurier hors du commun, l’un des pionniers de l’egyptologie, fut l’un des premiers a fouiller a Karnak, au Fayoum, a Tanis et dans le Delta. Les egyptologues trouveront notamment ici de nombreuses uvres qu’il a mises au jour et qui sont aujourd’hui a Turin, a Paris et a Munich, quand elles ne sont pas restees en Egypte. D’autres planches presentent les temples de Nubie (absents de la ” Description de l’Egypte “) ainsi que des monuments aujourd’hui disparus dans les fours a chaux au cours du XIXe siecle. Les planches de zoologie, en particulier celles consacrees aux poissons, interesseront specialement les naturalistes. Les planches d’ethnographie quant a elles se demarquent singulierement de celles de la ” Description de l’Egypte “, surtout celles qui traitent des usages et de la vie quotidienne en Haute-Egypte et en Basse-Nubie.
