London: John Murray, , 1878. A restoration to life of the ancient Pharoahs The best edition of this keystone work of British Egyptology, carefully revised by Samuel Birch, this copy in an attractive contemporary binding. First published in 1837, The Quarterly Review referred to Wilkinson's minutely detailed and superbly illustrated work as a "restoration to life, as it were, of the ancient Pharaohs, and their subjects". With his meticulous observation and recording of sites (the illustrations are taken from his drawings), Wilkinson (1797-1875) was the first British Egyptologist properly to value the interpretation of Egyptian texts. He "arrived in Egypt on 22 November 1821. He soon became so fascinated with the land that he abandoned all thoughts of an army career and spent the next twelve years there...

His sketches are rendered… Read More
