Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Caroline Louise Ransom Williams (1872-1952) was the first woman to obtain a degree through the first American Egyptology program, at the University of Chicago. She then became the first woman to study Egyptology at a university in continental Europe. She went on to work at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Toledo Museum of Art, and the New York Historical Society (precursor to the Brooklyn Museum). She participated in Epigraphic Survey at Luxor and assisted the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. The Decoration of the Tomb of Per-neb was published by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1932. "Using as a vehicle for her discussion the 5th Dynasty tomb of Per-neb now in the Metropolitan Museum, Mrs. Williams has given an almost complete background for the conventions and the techniques of color as used by the ancient Egyptians, particularly of the early dynasties. A book on this subject and with such scholarliness might easily have been a dull thing to read but due to the easy style and clear presentation of ideas it is an absorbing matter for the expert or layman." Brooklyn Museum Quarterly (1935) "For the Old Kingdom Caroline Ransom Williams' The Decoration of the Tomb of Per-neb is a comprehensive and exceedingly valuable study of the technical processes of painting and relief sculpture." William Stevenson Smith, Ancient Egypt as Represented in the Museum of Fine Arts (1952)

This book was released on 2004 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tomb Painting and Identity in Ancient Thebes, 1419-1372 BCE examines the style, iconography, and symbolism of painting in all extant private Theban tomb chapels decorated during the reigns of Thutmose IV and Amenhotep III. The book studies the ways in which pictorial imagery functioned on behalf of the dead in the afterlife, presented their identity to the living, and revealed underlying religious developments with important societal implications. Various aspects of the pre-Amarna Theban tomb are explored, from the tomb's purpose as a creative and commemorative vehicle for the deceased to the placement and functional properties of its imagery. The book also discusses the different styles of painting in the chapels of state and religious officials and how these styles reveal workshop organization and "patronage" practices in Thebes. The majority of the book is dedicated to the iconography of the functioning image in the tomb chapel, its reception, and its purpose as a bridge between what was represented and what was signified, between the mundane and the sacred, and between the living and the dead. Particular attention is paid to the iconography on the "western" back walls of the transverse hall in T-shaped tomb chapels, walls that held aesthetic, cultic, and symbolic significance to the ancient Egyptians. On these walls as well as the northern or southern long wall in rectangular tomb chapels, iconography and text commemorated the deceased's personal and professional identity, projected this identity into the hereafter, and contained key components for the tomb owner's rebirth. The eternal well-being of the deceased was secured through the iconography of gift giving that also mirrored religious trends that permeated society. Tomb Painting and Identity in Ancient Thebes, 1419-1372 BCE addresses Theban tomb painting and its underlying creative and commemorative properties as a medium of regeneration, preservation, and display on behalf of the tomb owner and the world of which he was a part.
