Cairo: Imprimerie de L'Institut Français D'Archéologie Orientale, 1913. Ex-Library First Edition. Hardcover. Folio. (4) 131pp., lxxi plates. Modern gray cloth with original cover wrapper bound in and gilt lettering on spine. Title page printed in red and black with publisher's device. "This record of the Temple of Derr was made during the months of January, February, and March 1910. The difficulty of obtaining satisfactory photographs of the reliefs in the inner rooms (see pp. 24, 42 and 74) was great. Those published are the fruits of considerable labour – I was single handed – and of an experience gained after many failures." (Author). Profusely illustrated with in-text hieroglyphs, drawings, plans and tables and 71 plates with photogravures, seven of them with drawings. Contains indices of divinities, head-dresses, variations in the writing of the name of the temple, cartouches of King Ramses, a general index and one of authorities quoted. Binding with library barcode and sticker, slight wear along edges. Library bookplate on inside front cover, pocket on inside back cover. Library stamps on verso of title page and top and bottom edges. Binding and interior in overall very good condition. vg. Item #44441
