London: Kegan Paul, Trench, Trubner & Co, 1903. Hardcover. VG, clean and tight; light wear to spine; sunning to covers. Marguerite de Pourtales. Half leather with paper-coverd boards. 32 pp., 13 bw plates (including frontispiece) and 2 maps. This is the first memoir of They Egypt Exploration Fund, founded in 1882 by Amelia Edwards, an Egyptologist, and Reginald Stuart Poole, a professor of archaeology. First organized to co-ordinate archaeological explorations in the Nile Valley and delta, it was supported by many leading clergymen looking for archaeological evidence of Biblical sites but became increasingly involved with the establishment of archaeology as a scientific discipline. It remains Britain's foremost Egyptological society. (paraphrased from the UCL Bloomsbury Project web site) The beautiful engravings were done by de Pourtales, who became Naville's wife.
