About This Item
In the wake of Napoleon's armies a scramble for the antiquities of Egypt began which filled the museums of Europe with booty - the story of ambitious plunderers and pioneering archaeologists and the great rival French and British excavators, and the successors of Mariette and Petrie who turned a treasure hunt into a scientific discipline. 399 pages with numerous black and white illustrations throughout. Book in very good condition with minor foxing on endpapers and first page and a flyer pasted inside back cover. Dust jacket in good- condition with some damage top back, back edge, small tear bottom back edge and bottom spine, some knocks and chips and wear to front (see photo).
