This lecture tells the story of the two important women who worked in the 1930’s, recording the great Temple of Seti I at Abydos. Not only do we have the wonderful work from the Temple produced by the women, we also have over 400 letters written by Myrtle documenting the life experienced by them in Egypt. Myrtle also painted many scenes of native life and landscapes. The presentation will be illustrated with photos and beautiful paintings by the artists.
