View looking along the riverbank at Aswan, towards beached and moored boats, with off-loaded goods lying on the banks: 'To our right is the island of Elephantine; consequently we are looking southwards. In the same direction, to the left, is a remarkable cemetery of small chapels or cubas, and gravestones, with cuphic inscriptions; and still farther to the left the granite quarries...To the left is a ruined mosque and tomb, belonging to the ancient town, which is now deserted, having been visited by a dreadful plague...The whole of this beach is covered with the stream during the inundation, but in the season of the low Nile it become a convenient landing-place for the goods brought from the north and destined for Ethiopia...'
