The great French Egyptologist Gaston Maspero gathers essays written over thirty years for a general public. He discusses the schools of Egyptian statuary, portraits of King Mycerinus, the famous crouching and kneeling scribes of the Louvre and the Cairo museums, family groups from Memphis and the dwarf Khnoumhotpou, explaining how each was made and what it reveals.
