This is a fabulous reference book. Still in plastic, and in pristine condition.

This volume publishes more than 200 objects from the private collections of W Arnold Meijer, making them available for the first time to the general public. Accompanying texts by a team of renowned scholars explain in an exemplary manner how ancient Egyptian artists worked stone, wood, glass, bronze, and other materials into unique pieces of art. Other texts tell about the function and use of these objects in everyday life and link their imagery to the mythology and the gods and goddesses of ancient Egypt.

Entitled - Aperçu de L'histoire Ancienne d'Égypte.

Condition of this volume is good. All of the pages are present and accounted for. The spine is cracked inside the cover, but it's stable and this book is readable safely. It belonged to a J.H. Gazali of 13 Rue Mariette Pacha in 1907 as indicated by their many inscriptions on the first pages. Some staining to the pages, as expected. A nice volume and VERY rare.
