Identifying an egyptian typeface found in the old Dutch book from 1906

Recommended Posts

Trying to identify this Egyptian typeface from either second half of 19th or very beginning of 20th century for a revival project for my studies. Consulted some Dutch and German typefaces (specimens from Genzsch & Heyse, Amsterdam Type Foundry, International Index of metal typefaces, Handbuch der Schriften, etc) and found no match so far. Attached scan is from the book ( publisher: Schreuders Amsterdam, title: Mijn herinneringen aan de omwenteling van 1848").
The typeface has a single storey /g, /ij ligature, short descenders. Lowercase /t has no connection between the top of the stem and the bar. Long tail on /a and /t, /E has no serif on middle bar. Condensed in proportions. Book was printed in Hilversum by Nonhebel & Co/ De Mercuur printing house.
