Summary: egypt of the emerson era
Review: What an informative and delightful addition to the Amelia Peabody Saga. And to begin it with the long lost thoughts and musings of Emerson himself!
Those of us intrigued by all things Egyptological, Victorian/Edwardian and the Great War, cannot be but pleased by
the presentation of so much interesting information, combined with an abundance of antique imagery. Now we can see the
Shepherds Hotel terrace of Ms. Peters verbal depiction, as well as the streets and lanes of Cairo and the other views and vistas
of the Emerson Era.
And was it fun or what, "locating" the pictures used in the
People of the Journals section? Toddler Amelia in spats!
The youthful Emerson brothers, including an airbrushed
indication of Radcliff's famous cleft. And who would have
thought Enid Debenham was such a fox! But the very best image is of,( whom else?) Ramses, in a
sailor suit, eating an apple (or is it a sweet?) while
reading undoubtedly, the Koptische Grammatik mit Chrestomathie.
