"... the art of Egypt always remains Egyptian, so that no one who
has even the most superficial knowledge would have any hesitation
in identifying as Egyptian, works most widely separated in time ...
Yet there are differences between various periods and local schools
as great and essential as can be found among widely separated
nationalities. In these circumstances, the chief need of the student
is a clear and concise account of the various styles and periods,
illustrated by typical examples and accurate descriptions. Though
many works have been written in explanation or appreciation of
Egyptian art, none of them, so far as I know, gives just that
guidance which is required to help in realising the various phases
of development, the characteristic qualities, merits, and defects
of various ages." (Ernest A. Gardner)
