Giovanni Battista Belzoni was an Italian explorer and archaeologist, born in Padua (Padova). In 1803 he was working in England as a circus strong man, and exhibiting models of hydraulic engines. In 1815 he went to Cairo to try and sell his hydraulic engines to Muhammad 'Ali Pasha, and within two years had begun a new career, excavating Egyptian tombs and temples.
Psammuthis was an Egyptian Pharaoh of the Twenty-ninth Dynasty during 393 BC.
The upper part of the plate represents the Eagle painted on the ceiling of the first passage in the Tomb of Psammuthis, the lower part is a Tableau taken from above the door in the sideboard-room in the same Tomb.
