Légende

Panorama of the Nile - The Simoom, 1850. 'This Exhibition at the Egyptian Hall [in London] has much improved in its character. The scenes are now highly painted in distemper, and with that literal fidelity which is merited by the oldest and the largest buildings in the world...The drawings for the present panorama have been made by Joseph Bonomi: they are painted, and capitally painted too, by Mr. Henry Warren and Mr. James Fahey. The scenery is accompanied by descriptions, which are very well delivered indeed by the appointed lecturer. The imagination is greatly awakened by the magnificence both of the works of nature and art here presented to the senses...The most striking...is the representation of the Simoom...The sand-storm is supposed to have overtaken a caravan from the Oasis Amun in the Lybian desert...Altogether, this Panorama is exceedingly interesting, amusing, and instructive'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
