George Lloyd Album

  • Lloyd MSS
  • Colección
  • 1842-1843

Album of watercolours, drawings, and tracings of Egypt produced close to the end of Lloyd's life. It is a folio volume (33 x 44 cm, pages 32.7 x 43 cm), containing 135 watercolours and drawings (74 of which are full-page and 1 folding) and 10 tracings (8 folding). They are all mounted and most are captioned either on the image itself or on the mount. Captions on the mount seem to have been added when the album was put together after Lloyd's death. The album also contains a loose watercolour, a loose drawing and a loose lithographed portrait of George Lloyd by Prisse d'Avennes, who published it in his Oriental Album: Characters, Costumes and Modes of Life in the Valley of the Nile (1848). One of the drawings in the album is a pencil portrait of Lloyd sketched by Prince A. Soltykoff.

'Signet ring of fine gold weighing nearly 3 sovereigns

bearing the name of Shufu the (Suphis) of the Greeks

This remarkable piece of antiquity is in the highest state

preservation and said to have been found at Gezeh

in a tomb near that to the excavation of Col Campbell The work

in The style of the hieroglyphics is perfectly that of those

sculptors hieroglyphics of the tombs about the

great pyramid all the details are eminently executed

The heaven is engraved with minute stars; The Fox or Jackall has

significant lines within its con[t]our; The hatchets have

their handles bound with thongs as usual in the sculptures; The volumes have the

string that binds them differently hanging below the

roll differently placed from any example in sculptured or

painted hierogs in the tombs; The determinative for country

is studded with dots representing the sand of the mountainous

margins of the side valley of Egypt The sign [F35] has the

tongue and semilunar mark of the longer examples as also

the vase in the shape of the heart. The Name is surmounted

by the usual globe and feathers decorated in the usual way except

that the lines are more horizontal than in the sculptured examples,

and the ring of The cartouch is engraved with lines representing

a rope of of which decoration I know no of the line inclosing

the hieroglyphics of a royal name I know of no example but

this; the [Aa1] in the name is placed as in the tombs not in

the centre as of the cartouch; the chickens have their unfledged

wings The serastes its horns to be seen only with the magnifying

glass Of the variations in from the usual made of representing

a volume and the inclosure of Royal names are circumstances

favorable to the genuineness of this remarkable piece of antiquity

for when taken into consideration with the style of the work which

is infinitely more difficult to imitate than little little x(?)

in which details from in which the fabricator would not have

ventured to differ from the known examples'

'Harwell House October 21 1850
The great Sarcophagus in the Chapel
The Goddess Neith N Neith [X1*W24:N1] who is depicted in
full length on the inside of the upper half of the
third coffin is compounded of the hieroglyphic [V39]
in the same manner as the god [Q1\:D4\:A40], likewise depicted
full length, is corresponded of the hieroglyphic [R11].

In Sarcophagi from the necropolis of Thebes it is
usual to find the same Goddess in the likeness of a beautiful
woman, usually, with her arms streached over the deceased
as the heavens streached over the earth. That she represents
the heavens the determinative of her name [N1] is a
voucher, and her figure [C199] in this position over astronomi
cal signs. But if other proof were wanting there is a
stone sarcophagus in the British Museum where she
is sculptured streached out, as the heavens over the
earth, and giving birth to the Planets. In the lower half
of Sarcophagi from Thebes it is usual to find an other
Goddess female figure and not the figure of a man or one man or god in the
likeness of a man or compounded of the [R11] as in the Hartwell
Coffin; and this goddess [X1\:H8-Q1] is the goddess of the earth. as might be naturally suppose(?) This figure She extends her arms up each side of the coffin as if
embracing the deceased or receiving the deceased into her bosom

That the stone Sacrophagus here quoted came from Thebes
I my self can assert being present where the officers of the
Luxor brought it out of the pit

Whence then is the great Sarcophagus in the Chapel
of Hartwell house? The answer is, most probably from Lower Egypt. Most probably from the great necropolis
of Lower Egypt there namely the Necropolis desert of Sakkara of Memphis. First
because Pthah of to whom(underlined) the sign R11 is peculiar(underlined) had a celebrated
Temple at in the city of Memphis and secondly because the hierogly
phics are of the form or style of writing peculiar to
this region of Egypt and thirdly because the form of the outer
case is of the ancient form [Q6] most usual from in this nearby(?)
the most ancient times to the most recent in that
district of Egypt (See ancient inscription in the same
collection)'
