Hardcover. 1st Edition. Elephant folio. Pp. xi, plus 40 plates printed in various techniques, partly lithography, partly collotype, mostly double-page or folding, several in exquisite coloured collotype, including the frontispiece. HARDCOVER, bound in the original publisher's full cloth, large decoration embossed on cover in gilt, gilt spine; the shine of the cloth coating very superficially rubbed in places on cover. In excellent condition, mint interior. A splendid copy, seldom found in such condition. ~ FIRST EDITION. An outstanding production. Collotype is one of the most accurate and attractive methods of photomechanical tonal printing processes. Highly skilled and expensive process, it cannot produce more than a limited number of impressions. It has been used for single-sheet prints and luxury portfolios, and since the 1950s has been abandoned by all except a few small specialist firms. Coloured collotypes the size of the plates here (image size up to ca. 50x110 cm) are very rare indeed in book production, so much so in such superb quality.

Hardcover. Zustand: g- to vg. First edition. Elephant Folios. Vol.1: (xi) 40 plates. Vol.2: (ix) 46 plates. Vol.3: (xi) 65 plates. Vol.4: (xviii) 80 plates. Vol.1 still retains its brown paper dust jacket. Tan cloth boards with gilt-stamped hieroglyphic illustrations on the front covers, and gilt lettering on the spines. This is the complete four volume visual survey from the site of the King Sethos' (Seti I) temple at Abydos. The acclaimed publication remains a key resource for the study of the temple and of Egyptology in general, to this day. The Temple (also known as The Great Temple of Abydos) is recognized as among the most significant structures in the area, as was primarily built as a memorial to King Seti I (father of Ramses II), and a place of reverence for the lineage of the past Pharoahs. The temple is well known for the "Abydos King List", a list of rulers of the principle dynasties, carved onto a wall. The site includes seven chapels dedicated to the worship of the pharaoh and the six gods Ptah, Re-Horakhty, Amun-Re, Osiris, Isis and Horus. These chapels provide an invaluable resource for the study of Ancient Egyptian religion as they contain the first complete form of the Daily Ritual, which was performed throughout Egypt during the the pharaonic period. The reliefs on the temple walls are acclaimed for their detail, technique and high artistic accomplishment. Originally conceived by the Egyptian Exploration Society as a purely photographic survey detailing the content of the of the temple, it soon became clear that Amice Calverley's work in reproducing the hieroglyphs, merited a much more substantial publication. An advanced multi-step process was utilized by Calverley, that included hand tracing of the hieroglyphs from original photographs by Herbert Felton, and then competing them on site. The resulting four volumes are a testament to the tireless work she undertook during 1928-1929. The set includes: Volume I: The Chapels of Osiris, Isis and Horus Volume II: The Chapels of Amen-Re', Re'-Harakhti, Ptah, and King Sethos Volume III: The Osiris Complex Volume IV: The Second Hypostyle Hall The publication includes a total of 231 plates, gorgeously printed in both b/w and colored photogravure (each measuring approximately 23x18.5") reproducing the hieroglyphs in detail, and of the architecture of the site itself. Other plates are illustrated reproductions of the hieroglyphics, printed lithographically. Also included are some detailed architectural plans providing insight into the spacial layout of the temple site. Many of the plates are double pages. Plate 11 of vol.2 is a large three page fold-out photographic reproduction in color, measuring approximately 19x44". The initial pages of each volume feature introductory text by renowned Egyptologist and linguist Sir Alan H. Gardiner. His work complements the visual work done, and gives historical, linguistic, spacial and technical context to each of the plates. This text is following by a detailed list of plates contained in each volume. Bindings with some light bumping to corners, some light smudges to covers and/or creasing to extremities. Ex-library. Library stickers or adhesive residue at the tails of spines and top left corners of the covers. Spines of vols. 1, 2 and 4 with light water stains. Binding of vol.3 cocked.

Signed lithograph, a prepublication print that later became Plate 6 of The Temple of King Sethos I at Abydos, Volume I (1933). Calverley first travelled to Abydos to work on the publication in 1928. She became "the life and soul of the work" (Gardiner, p. vii), taking responsibility for project management and camp operations alongside producing her meticulous artwork. Amice Mary Calverley (1896-1959) was working as a draughtsman at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, when her artistry caught the attention of the Egypt Exploration Society. At Abydos, she used a combination of photography and draughting to create her reproductions, and paid particular attention to the hieroglyphics, which were checked by a professional epigrapher. The "Chapel of Osiris, North Wall, Western Section" shows a section of wall decoration in which King Seti I offers incense and libations to the sacred bark of Osiris. The industrialist John D. Rockefeller visited the site in the winter of 1928-29 and was so impressed by Calverley's output that he agreed to contribute funds to the Egypt Exploration Society's publication, allowing The Temple of King Sethos I at Abydos to be produced in luxury format. Subsequent volumes appeared in 1935, 1938, and 1958, one year before Calverley's death. Having become fascinated by Abydos, Calverley stayed there until 1948, enraptured with the site, the landscape, the people, and the culture. On her return to Canada, she became an ardent collector of historical artefacts and was consistently generous to museums. She was the subject of a memorial exhibition in the Royal Ontario Museum in 1960, a catalogue from which is included here. Amice M. Calverley, Myrtle F. Broome, and Alan H. Gardiner, ed., The Temple of King Sethos I at Abydos, Volume I, The Chapels of Osiris, Isis and Horus, 1933.
