Mrs Emma Swan-Hall

Bernard V. Bothmer was a leading Egyptologist and art historian  of the mid-twentieth century. Born in Berlin, he emigrated to  America in 1941, and soon become an assistant curator of Ancient  Art at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. In 1950 Bothmer  received a small grant to go to Egypt, to familiarize himself  with the Cairo Museum and the archaeological sites, and to visit  and study the places where the Harvard University-Museum of Fine  Arts Egyptian Expedition had done its fieldwork before the War.  It was his first visit to Egypt. In this book, his diary of the  trip, Bothmer details all the places he visited, from Aswan in  the south to Saqqara in the north, and the people he met along  the way. He describes the events and experiences of everyday  life, from trains and donkeys to the Hotel Luxor, and alludes to  the political and social circumstances surrounding the practice  of archaeology in Egypt in the middle of the 20th century.
