What is Description de l'Egypte: Publiee par les ordres de Napoleon Bonaparte (Klotz Series) about?

This book is a collection of all the illustrated plates that appeared in the French multi-volume book series 'Description De L' Egypte'. It goes to the original source drawings and several are in full color. There is an introduction in French, English, and German. While the rest of the book only has French captions for each page, and the items on that page/plate. Also in the introduction are several paintings, and drawings representing the battles of the French army in Egypt. It includes over 1000 illustrations of scenery, monuments, antique items, animals, mummies, rocks, plants and the (then) modern Egypt. The illustrations along the side are usually numbered with details that would have been described in the original volumes. Since the book is rather small for a art book many of the finer two page illustrations will need a magnifying lens to see them clearly. Many of the illustrations are copies of paintings and engravings on temple an monument walls, while others are details scenes in near photographic style realistic illustrations, floor plans and even aerial drawings.
