The Cemeteries of Abydos
The Cemeteries of Abydos, published in London and Boston in 1913 by the Egypt Exploration Fund, is an archaeological excavation report by Kathleen Haddon on ancient Egyptian tombs at Umm el-Qa'ab. Its plates show excavated mud-brick structures, pottery, stone vessels, and small clay figures photographed and drawn for scholars. A designer might draw on the stark desert ruins, the sketched potsherds with their simple line-drawn motifs, and the carved figurines' stylised silhouettes.
