4.0 out of 5 stars A representative catalogue of a fine Egyptian collection, March 31, 2000

By A Customer

This volume is a coffee-table book cataloque of the Egyptian collection of the Brooklyn Museum. A finely produced book, which contains a sumptuous amount of finely produced photos (mostly color). Though not a comprehensive catalogue of the entire (or even the majority) collection, the items that are presented and very nicely discussed, offer the reader, both lay and academic, and well-rounded view of, and an introduction to, the history and culture of ancient Egypt, and stress the importance of the Museum's Egyptian collection. For those interested in more detailed descriptions, the more comprehensive catalogues of the Museum collections (which as of yet do not cover the entire collection) can be used. In summary, this is one of the nicer catalogues of Egyptian art available to the English-reading public.
