Description:
It was a great source of satisfaction to the Freer Gallery when Dr. Steindorff agreed to make a study of our Egyptian head, offering, as it did, the opportunity of bringing to bear his great knowledge upon an object of especially high quality about which little was known. Scholars everywhere will be interested in his conclusions.
Dr. Steindorff wrote the article in German, and this was ably translated by Dr. Richard Ettinghausen, of our staff, who was greatly aided by Mrs. Marcella D. Dovener, who also prepared the table of conversions from meters to inches and made many valuable suggestions. The bibliography was compiled by the Freer Gallery librarian, Mrs. Bertha M. Usilton, and the photography was in the able hands of Burns A. Stubbs, assistant to the Director.
To all these, and above all to Dr. Steindorff for his great interest, we wish to extend our heartiest thanks.
