Inside front cover

Inside front cover

Inside the front cover of the album.

On the left reads:
'W.M. Flinders Petrie,
8 Crescent Road,
Bromley,
Kent.'

A piece of paper has also been inserted and reads:
'As some friends have desired to have copies of these photographs (which at present I have no time to prepare myself.) I have placed the plates in the hands of Messrs Murray & Heath, 37 Dartmouth Park Hill NW; and arranged with them to supply copies to order (not less than 6 at once) at 3d per print, post free. Only the numbers need be mentioned, but a list of the titles should be retained.
There is far more detail in the negatives than can be transferred to a print; and any one wishing to refer to them for scientific purposes will please to apply to me. Prints on glass are almost as good as the original negatives for examination, and can be easily supplied, as well as enlargement to any scale.
W.M. Flinders Petrie.'

Journals

The Journals, or more correctly journal-letters, cover 38 seasons, with a date range of 1880-1 to 1928-9, which cover Petrie’s first season in Egypt (measuring the Pyramids at Giza) through to 1928-9 (Petrie’s excavations at Tell Fara in Palestine). There are approximately 5,000 journal pages.

The earlier handwritten Journals are by Petrie, then following his marriage in 1897, much of the writing was compiled by his wife, Hilda.

Legends copied by Černý from Album of Photographs of Egyptian Objects in the Museums of Bologna, Florence and Turin

Notebook containing legends copied by Jaroslav Černý on 19-21 July 1954 from album of photographs taken by W.M. Flinders Petrie of Egyptian objects in the Museums of Bologna, Florence and Turin in April 1893.

Note: Although these legends correspond with the album Petrie MSS 3.1 'Photographs of Egyptian Objects in the Museums of Bologna, Florence and Turin', they are not included in it. It is not known whether the photographs were rehoused or if there is a duplicate album with legends seen by Černý held elsewhere.

Letter exchange between C. H. Read and Petrie

Correspondence exchanged between Charles Hercules Read and W. M. F. Petrie in 1907, two letters and one draft letter.

  • C. H. Read to Petrie, 27-03-1907, 2 pages, comparing the scale of excavations in Egypt undertaken by the Germans and Americans and that the British were falling behind.
  • Petrie to C. H. Read, not dated but presumably 1907, 3 pages, a draft of the reply in response to Read's letter of 27-03-1907, refutes Read's statement, and to the contrary, the British were in fact 'leading the way', describes his excavations in the Palace of Apries at Memphis, has funding for excavating in Egypt for the next 5 to 10 years, and the British Society of Antiquaries need to continue its support of British excavations.
  • Petrie to C. H. Read, 27-05-1909, 1 page, the Hilton Price collection sale at Sotheby's.
