Cyril Aldred (1914-1991) was a noted Egyptologist, historian, author and Keeper of Art and Archaeology at the Royal Scottish Museum, Edinburgh. Nina de Garis Davies (1881-1965) was an artist who, with her husband Norman de Garis Davies, recorded many Theban tombs using egg tempera to reproduce colours as exactly as possible. She worked at Thebes for over thirty years and, also, at Amarna and Beni Hasan.
