This volume moves from prehistoric Egypt through the Archaic Period, Old Kingdom, Middle Kingdom, New Kingdom, and later Ptolemaic and Roman periods. It places Egyptian art within its religious, political, and everyday cultural setting rather than treating the illustrations as decoration alone.
The bold mid-century dust-jacket design and red textured boards also make it an attractive shelf book for an art, archaeology, or ancient-history collection.
