It makes accessible in one volume his groundbreaking methodology and important finds, particularly with regard to Egyptian sculpture.

Elsbeth van der Wilt, Bibliotheca Orientalis 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.

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 of Egyptian Art at the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University.
