| 3 | Egypt and Nubia, Volume III, No. 26, Cairo, Looking West, 1848. Louis Haghe (British, 1806–1885), after David Roberts (Scottish, 1796–1864), F. G. Moon, 20 Threadneedle Street, London. Color lithograph; sheet: 43 x 60.2 cm (16 15/16 x 23 11/16 in.); image: 34 x 52.8 cm (13 3/8 x 20 13/16 in.). The Cleveland Museum of Art, Bequest of John Bonebrake 2012.164 This printed leaf depicts a panoramic scene of Cairo around the 1800s, viewed from the west. David Roberts was among the earliest British artists to travel to the Middle East in 1838–39, a trip that resulted in more than 250 drawings depicting Egypt and the Holy Land. He later worked with printer Louis Haghe to translate these works into lithography to reach a wider audience at a time of expanding European colonialism. |

What the layers are
The text as its witness or edition has it, original spelling; its dialect is a description and is never standardized.
For Egyptian texts: the transliteration with the editors' marks turned into the symbols ° * < > _ ^ (ruled 2026-09-10). For papyri: the edition's Leiden marks as the same symbols, and the editors' readings beside the scribe's as ‹scribe→editors› (ruled PAP-3).
Standardized Greco-Bohairic spelling and grammar, generated by code from the layer above under the rulings of the project.
The Kemetic alphabet, generated by code from L1.
Quoted translations where they exist, credited; otherwise model drafts, marked as drafts.
