"Nizamior, Regular Troops of the Turkish Army at Kanka, illustration from The Valley of the Nile, engraved by Mouilleron, pub. by Lemercier, 1848" is a historical illustration by French Egyptologist and artist Emile Prisse d'Avennes (1807–1879). This work is part of a larger collection featured in "The Valley of the Nile," which showcases a series of illustrations depicting various aspects of Egyptian and Middle Eastern culture, landscapes, and architecture during the 19th century.

The illustration captures the Nizamior, or Nizamiye, which refers to the regular troops of the Ottoman Empire's army stationed at Kanka (possibly a reference to a location in the Ottoman Empire, though the exact site is not specified). These troops were part of a modernization effort of the Ottoman military, which began under Sultan Mahmud II in the early 19th century to replace the traditional Janissary corps with a more modern and disciplined military force.

Emile Prisse d'Avennes, renowned for his detailed and accurate representations of Egyptian antiquities and life, created this work with a keen eye for detail and authenticity. The illustration was engraved by Mouilleron, a notable engraver of the time, and published by Lemercier, a prominent Parisian printing house known for its high-quality lithographic work.

The image is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, providing insight into the military attire and organization of the Ottoman army during a period of significant transition. It serves as a visual document of the era's military reforms and the broader Western interest in the Orient during the 19th century, which was marked by an intense fascination with exotic cultures and a drive to document and understand them.

As an illustration from "The Valley of the Nile," this work contributes to the broader understanding of the cultural and historical context of the region during a time when Egypt and the Ottoman Empire were subjects of great interest to European scholars, artists, and the general public. Emile Prisse d'Avennes' contributions to Orientalist art and scholarship are further exemplified by this detailed and evocative illustration.
