Note: The Egyptian revival movement in the early 19th century was inspired by Napoleon's conquest of Egypt, and Admiral Nelson's defeat of Napoleon at the Battle of the Nile in 1798. Napoleon took a scientific expedition with him to Egypt and publication of the work was produced in 1809. Many drawings and engravings showed images of the pyramids, sphynx and hieroglyphics which influenced the taste-makers, cabinet-makers and architects of the time.
