The Egyptologist Annie Quibell, nee Pirie (1862-1927), became a
student of Sir Flinders Petrie, copying wall-paintings and
inscriptions at his Saqqara excavations, where she met her husband,
who was an inspector for the Egyptian Antiquities Service.
Accompanying him and sharing in his work on site, she was keen to
popularise the marvels of ancient Egyptian civilisation, writing
several works for the lay reader. This 1923 book was a new edition
of a work originally focusing on the Cairo Museum, but which was
now intended as a historical guide to Egyptian collections in
general. She advises that it should be skimmed through before any
visit, 'sufficiently to get an impression of the great length of
Egyptian history', but can also be used afterwards to follow up any
particular interest. The very recent discovery of Tutankhamen's
tomb, 'just as the book was going to press', enthuses Quibell with
prospects for the future.
