He was an interesting man. After getting his Masters he met Flinders Petrie in 1902, who offered him a job. This lasted five years, in which time he discovered the cenotoph & tomb of Ahmose. He helped found ROM in 1914 & stayed with it to 1946. SIGNED by Currelly on fep. Above his bookplate Kenneth E. Kidd has written "KE Kidd". Kidd (1906-1994) was ROM curator of Ethnology from 1935 to 1981. Seems likely Currelly was book's first owner, then Kidd. .
