John Gardner Wilkinson was the son of a reverend and a classical scholar. His mother, the scholar, taught him how to draw. In 1821, upon his arrival to Egypt, Wilkinson abandoned his army career and spent twelve years traveling around the Nile, and the eastern and western deserts. He excavated at numerous Egyptian archaeological sites and drew the results of his work into his notebooks. Wilkinson's work was focused on ancient Thebes. He created the numbering system for the tombs in the Valley of the Kings. His map of Thebes was later published in a limited quantity by the Royal Society. His most important (and popular) publication was his Manners and Customs of the Ancient Egyptians. His series contains a detailed, vivid narrative of daily life in ancient Egypt. Wilkinson relied on paintings in Egyptian tombs to create his picture of daily life in ancient Egypt. His series went through many publications, and Wilkinson later received a knighthood in 1839 for his work. J.G. Wilkinson helped to found the field of Egyptology in Great Britain, and his notebooks, sketches, and private collection of antiquities contain a legacy of significant archaeological study. His collections remain in England (many at the Bodleian). An early archaeologist, and one of the first Egyptologists, Wilkinson's series is a high spot in the publishing history of books on antiquity. A Very Good set with moderate wear to the extremities gently exposing many of the corners, and a rub to the front joint of volume six; front gutter in volume one neatly strengthened, a plate in volume six is incomplete, with a small portion of it removed.

Gift inscription dated 1845 in some volumes. Second edition of the first series; First Edition of the second series. Wilkinson, known as the "Father of British Egyptology," spent 12 years in Egypt visiting virtually every known ancient site, making skillful copies of paintings and inscriptions, and compiling copious notes on what he saw. On his return to England in 1833, he began publishing his researches in a series of works, the most important being Manners and Customs of the Ancient Egyptians (first ed. 1837), which he followed four years later with the Second Series containing material he had omitted from the earlier work. Wilkinson's records of Egyptian antiquities prior to the advent of widespread tourism are an invaluable resource, and his numbering system for the tombs in the Valley of the Kings is still used today. . $2000.
