RACIAL PHOTOGRAPHS

FROM THE

EGYPTIAN MONUMENTS

This series of 190 Photographs of the various races conquered or visited by the Egyptians, has been taken by Mr. Flinders Petrie from the monuments in 1887, with the assistance of a grant from the British Association. It is now available for students at the cost price of printing copies. Applications should be made for prints to Mr. Browning Hogg, 75 High Street, Bromley, Kent. If a selection is wanted, a set will be sent, any of which can be detached from the titled sheets by the purchaser, at 2s. 3d. per dozen; those not required should be at once returned in the sheets to Mr. Hogg, with the remittance for those kept. If a whole set is wanted, it will be sent pasted on sheets of parchment paper, with printed titles, on receipt of 45s., postage included. With each whole set, a copy of Mr. Petrie's report, and Mr. Tomkins' paper on the geographical identifications, will be sent if requested, so far as the number of copies allowed by the British Association will permit.

The Photographs are mainly from plaster casts, and are therefore far clearer than if directly from the stone. Each has the ancient name from the hieroglyphs, and the modern equivalent, so far as the names can be identified. The situation of each sculpture is stated in the report. All are of the XIXth dynasty, and at Thebes, unless stated otherwise in the titles. Where an interrogation is put, either the ancient name is not expressly stated, but is inferred from similar sculptures, or else the modern name is not a certain identification. Where there are various theories on the identifications, the least unlikely has been adopted without any wish to assert its probable truth. The order of arrangement is such as to bring together the various peoples who have resemblances worthy of notice, such as the Punites and Philistines, (Poeni); the Tahennu, Hanebu, and Thuirsha; the Derdeni and Amorites, &c., subject of course to placing those of one name together.
