Primitive Art in Egypt (Classic Reprint) Paperback -

From the publisher

Excerpt from Primitive Art in Egypt In March 1904 it was published as a separate volume, without any modification of the text. I have been much gratified by the offer of Messrs. H. Grevel 81: Co. To issue an English translation of a revised and enlarged edition. In this way my book will naturally be brought before that public which is perhaps most prepared both to receive and to criticise it. The works of English ethnologists, more especially of Lubbock, Tylor, Lang, Haddon, Frazer, Spencer, and Gillen, were the first to draw attention to a whole series of problems of the greatest importance for a study of the origin of Art. In submitting my work to the English-speaking public, I am aware that those points which ensured its originality for the French public may perhaps give the book the appearance of a compilation, borrowed from the works of English scholars.
