Ebers’ Pictureseque Egypt, translated by Clara Bell, and measuring approx. 290x370mm (44.5 x 14.5 inches), is a huge two-volume collection of engravings and text. Copies of the plates are often sold on eBay, which is sad because it often means a bookseller has ripped apart a copy of the book.

There is also an entry in the Nuttall Encyclopædia for George Moritz Ebers.
