"In 1936 the writer was entrusted with the preparation of a survey of the sculpture and painting found at Giza. This was to form part of the publication of the excavations at the Pyramids upon which Dr. George A. Reisner and the members of the Harvard-Boston Expedition have long been engaged. It was clear at the start that new evidence from Giza made it necessary to reconsider both the style and date of sculpture from other Old Kingdom sites. As the need to refer to comparative material became more and more obvious the present form of the volume gradually took shape. It was at the suggestion of Dr. Reisner that the text was finally expanded into a general history of Old Kingdom art."
