Annotation
The aim of this project is to collect, analyze and evaluate original written, pictorial and 3D source material from Slovak authors who lived in the former Hungary or the Austro-Hungarian monarchy in the period 1843-1918 and were interested in ancient Egypt. This source material containing information referring to ancient Egypt may relate to history, art, architecture, personal correspondence, travel, collections, education, etc., and was publicly published/accessible/exhibited (magazines, newspapers, letters, literature, architecture) or found in personal archives/collections/possessions. The existence of such material and its evaluation is intended to document the diversity and extent of the Slovak population's interest in this ancient civilization in a given historical period.
