Giovanni D'Athanasi (1798–1854) became in 1815 the servant of Henry Salt (1780–1827), the antiquary who later became British Consul in Egypt and a pioneer Egyptologist. This 1836 book describes Salt's activities at Giza, Thebes and Abu Simbel, as well as providing a catalogue of his collection of antiquities.
