(Catalogue B. Quaritch, 1859). “Now complete, containing 31 large Lithographs. From the ‘Times’, Sept. 25. Among the splendid illustrated works by which this age is distinguished, there is, perhaps, none that will excel the ‘Oriental Album’, which is devoted to the pictorial exhibition of Egyptian life. The chief illustrations consist of large coloured lithographs, representing the costume and habits of all classes. These are beautifully drawn by Mr. Prisse, and finished with that scrupulous attention to elaborate detail which is so necessary when designs are to be means of information as well as choice Works of Art”. “From the ‘Spectator’, Sept. 12. The air of life, the force of effect, the brilliant but harmonious colouring, render the prints among the very finest works of their kind. The influence of such a book on the mind is analogous to that of travelling: it extends our knowledge of different modes of existence, and helps us to limit our category of necessaries. To possess such a work, therefore, is a luxury which counteracts the influence of luxury; though, indeed, to many it will furnish materials much more substantially useful than any more luxury”. (The Athenaeum: Journal of Literature, Science, the Fine Arts, etc., 1850).‎
