Ten years' digging in Egypt, 1881-1891
Ten years' digging in Egypt is a 1900 London archaeological account by W. M. Flinders Petrie, published by the Religious Tract Society for a general readership. Its pictures are plain line drawings of excavated objects, including a baboon statuette, a papyrus-style column capital and a wig-wearing head, which a designer might use as references for ancient Egyptian ornament and sculptural form.
