English description: On November 6, 1823, four Englishmen disembarked in the harbour of Alexandria. In the succeeding ten months, they traveled up the Nile as far as the Second Cataract and, in the course of their travels, witnessed the turmoils of a revolution against Mohamed Ali Pasha, the viceroy of Egypt. In this volume, Henry Westcar's journal, which was written during this journey, is edited and annotated for the first time in its entirety. Additionally, the book offers a profound overview of the reign of Mohamed Ali Pasha and particularly the treatment of ancient monuments. The topic of the famous "Westcar Papyrus", which owes its name to the author of the journal, is discussed in an excursus. German description: Am 6. November 1823 landeten vier Englander im Hafen von Alexandria. In den folgenden zehn Monaten bereisten sie den Nil bis zum 2. Katarakt und erlebten dabei die Wirren einer Revolution gegen Mohamed Ali Pascha, den Vizekonig von Agypten. Der vorliegende Band veroffentlicht und kommentiert erstmalig das gesamte Tagebuch des Henry Westcar, das auf dieser Reise entstand. Daruber hinaus gibt das Buch einen fundierten Uberblick uber die Herrschaft Mohamed Ali Paschas im Allgemeinen und den Umgang mit den antiken Denkmalern im Besonderen. In einem Exkurs wird die Frage nach dem beruhmten "Papyrus Westcar" diskutiert, der seinen Namen dem Verfasser des Tagebuches verdankt.

Early travellers to Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece, Turkey and the Levant recorded and remembered their journeys by collecting or creating mementos of places they visited. This natural inclination took many guises, ranging from painting landscapes or, later, taking photographs to acquiring souvenirs, very often antiquities. The collection of antiquities, a controversial and usually illegal practice today, was in the 18th and 19th centuries not necessarily either, and many privately assembled collections now form the basis of major national museums. Souvenirs and New Ideas explores the human desire to retain the memory of a foreign journey, in a series of essays that examine the collections of a variety of travellers, from intrepid female solo voyagers to European royalty. Their acquisitions included souvenirs ranging from Egyptian mummies and ancient artefacts, to paintings and sketches of places visited, to the raw material for books written at leisure, both scholarly and popular. In their desire to share with those at home some of what they had seen, these voyagers contributed to an understanding of societies little known at the time, and the stories of their travels continue to entrance.
