About this Item

Folio folding portfolio (18� x 14�" / 48 x 37 cm) with quarter brown cloth over tan lettered boards (faded & spotted) plus cloth tassels, containing: University of Chicago Oriental Institute Nubia Expedition Volume I reddish monograph in wrappers by Herbert Ricke et associates; illustrated with 49 folio plates including portraits, 6 schematic plans, and glossy B&W photographs with some in color; 6 plans, xvii + 39 pages. Weight > 7 lbs. The Temple of Beit el-Wali is a rock-cut Ancient Egyptian temple in Nubia which was built by Pharaoh Ramesses II and dedicated to the deities of Amun-Re, Re-Horakhti, Khnum and Anuket. It was the first in a series of temples built by Ramesses II in this region; its name Beit el-Wali means 'House of the Holy Man' and may indicate its previous use by a Christian hermit at some point in time. In an amazing feat of salvage archaeology, the temple was cut up and relocated--then reassembled on higher ground--during the 1960s as a result of the fllooding to be caused by the Egyptian Aswan High Dam project. Overall in Good + (portfolio) to Near Fine CONDITION (wrappered UofC monograph & folio plates). Moderate wear, sun fading, discoloration, likely insect damage, and some spotting to portfolio covers and front pastedown. Internally the portfolio is without stains and has clean paper lining. The softcover reddish UofC & Oriental Institute monograph by Ricke, Huges, and Wente is Very Fine. Most folio plates are FINE (though a few have splits at their folds) and without foxing or stains. Because of weight and size extra postage may be required. Seller Inventory # 4274

Terms of Sale:

We are professional booksellers, autograph dealers, and antiquarians (members of the ILAB & ABAA) who began in business in 1969. We pride ourselves on providing books, autographs, art, and artifacts in the Best Available Condition (typically Fine, Very interesting, Scarce, or Unusual items).

Shipping Terms:

All our books and items are carefully packed. They are usually shipped in Manilla padded-envelopes or sturdy boxes with additional bubble wrap, styrofoam "popcorn," or other protective layers. We strive to ship within 24 hours of receiving orders--allowing extra time for weekends or holidays.

Books shipped within the United States are usually shipped via USPS Media Mail. Postal charges for Media Mail typically run from $3.17 to around $5. When site-posted charges--usually $4.95--exceed actual USPS charges, any overage helps to defray our packaging and shipping costs.

Those books requiring extra-swift transport or -care are often shipped via USPS Priority Mail. Postage charges usually average $13.50 for up to precisely 2 pounds, but rapidly escalate thus possibly making it necessary to contact clients.

Autographs & manuscripts, art & artifacts are usually shipped in stout boxes with padding and reinforcement. Because Media Mail rates do not then apply, we normally use USPS Priority mail, but also ship via UPS and FedEx. Extra charges for insurance are often necessary for valuable items.

Overseas' shipments (as to Europe) weighing with packaging Not more than 2 pounds usually incur postage charges of between $13.50 to $25. Those between 2 - 4 pounds average around $35. Packages of more than 4 pounds usually need to be quoted.
