This gallery displays photographs of Egyptologists and Travelers, given by institutions or individuals, or taken from their Festschriften or from their travel books. When taken from books, the book's ID number refers to the copy (sold or available) of Meretseger Books. For example Carter's portrait has ref. #M3566c which refers to Carter's edition of The tomb of Tut-Ankh-Amen.
