Author Description

Excerpt from The Rock Tombs of El Amarna, Vol. 3: The Tombs of Huya and Ahmes I do not feel that any apology is needed for the general method of reproduction employed in this work. At the cost of some unsightliness I feel bound to enable the student to distinguish as clearly as possible between the extant picture and any restorations that may be considered desirable. But as a distinguished critic has assured the public that I do not intend the irregularly broken lines of an injured scene to represent the exact state of the wall, it is necessary for me to insist that this is what I have attempted, to the best of my ability conceiving that it is my duty to be everywhere the copyist and not the artist, or to give plain notice of the lapse.
