'Pierre Trémaux (1818-95) was a French architect, traveler,
photographer, and amateur scientist who, in 1847-48, voyaged up the
Nile to Nubia, Ethiopia, and eastern Sudan. Trémaux
described the geology, flora and fauna, architectural monuments,
and people of these countries in several works published in France
in the 1850s and early 1860s. Some scholars consider his
descriptions and sketches of Lower Nubia to be especially valuable,
since much of this area now is covered by Lake Nubia, the extension
into Sudan of Lake Nasser, created when the Aswan High Dam was
built in the 1960s.'
