Thanks for taking the time to comment....Hi, Stuart. Thanks for taking the time to comment.<br /><br />I think this is a really fascinating story. 'A copy of Some account of the collection of Egyptian antiquities in the possession of Lady Meux, of Theobald's Park, Waltham Cross' came up for auction recently. I bid for it but dropped our at about £200. It went to a museum in the end.<br /><br />I have photographs of Lady MeuxPaul Boughtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10914409222289328705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1749153258636290164.post-39554556124539201642011-05-17T12:28:18.541+01:002011-05-17T12:28:18.541+01:00Thank you Paul for that very intresting article.

I look forward to hearing more of this.<br /><br />I have an interest in Egyptian collections past and present and have a little experience in trying to find the full history of items and tracing their existence. Its a lot of fun and your report suggests that you have hadd a good degree of success.<br /><br />I look forward to the next instalment.<Stuart Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03852168221500295895noreply@blogger.com
