SOME COMMENTS BY REVIEWERS
"Heinrich Schäfer's classic book deserves to be read by historians and students of all kinds of art, not simply those who wish to be able to 'read' Egyptian images." "John Baines' lucid English translation, first published in 1974, brought this important work before a wider public and included revisions to the text and illustrations which incorporated the results of more recent research; this latest reprint brings the book up-to-date with further corrections and additions."
