The late Bernard V. Bothmer began his career in Egyptian Art at the Egyptian Museum in Berlin. He subsequently joined the Department of Egyptian Art at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and then the Department of Egyptian, Classical, and Ancient Middle Eastern Art at the Brooklyn Museum, where he later became Chairman. Brooklyn quality became a recognized standard during his tenure. Bothmer was the first Lila Acheson Wallace Professor ofEgyptian Art at the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University.

For future generations, people like myself, who will not have the privilege of studying or working with Bothmer, this book contains a wealth of information of the working method and the eye of a great Egyptian historian. It provides an example to emulate with regard to its style of writing and elegance in publication.
