Catalogue of the Museum and Gallery of Art of the New-York Historical Society, 1893
A museum catalogue issued in 1893 by the New-York Historical Society for its members and visitors, listing the Abbott collection of Egyptian antiquities alongside the Society's art holdings. Line engravings record single objects against blank ground: royal cartouches, scarab undersides crowded with hieroglyphs, bronze daggers and axe blades, a mummy's wrapped head and painted coffin edge.
