Beschreibung

Scarce in the trade, there being currently no copies available on-line. But for a present-but-detached front board, a still sturdy and remarkably attractive bound volume comprising several volumes of the Egypt Exploration Fund. The E.E.F. was founded in 1882 by Amelia Edwards and Reginald Stuart Poole of London, and they expressed their aim to study ancient Egypt and perform archaeological surveys and excavations. Through the research wing of the E.E.F., thousands of Egyptian artifacts were legally brought back to Britain. In 1919, the E.E.F. changed its name to the Egypt Exploration Society [E.E.S.], and they continued to do and to sponsor the doing of archaeological surveys and excavations. All volumes have been collated as complete. Bound in a pretty burgundy marbled paper over boards, tips and spine bound handsomely in a creamy brown leather, with gilt lettering to spine. Marbled endpapers front and rear. The volumes cover the five years of the reporting period, 1900-1904, and come complete with illustrations and maps. Articles by luminaries such as D. Randall-MacIver, A.C. Mace, N. de G. Davies, F. Ll. Griffith, the editor, F.G. Kenyon, W.E. Crum, W. Max Muller, Arthur J. Evans, and others. Plentiful illustrations in black-and-white and reproduced on high-gloss paper. Laid in are the bonus pamphlets from the British School of Archaeology in Egypt, Report of the Fifteenth Year, Eighteenth Year, and the Twentieth Year,Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 349783
