PETTIGREW (Thomas Joseph). History of Egyptian Mummies, London: Longman, Rees 1834, 4to, 13 numbered lithographed plates (the first used as frontispiece), including 3 fully and 1 partially coloured, of which 2 highlighted in gold, inscribed by author to Dr Annesley, original boards (worn). Pettigrew, a prominent London surgeon, was a member of the Medical Society of London and lecturer on anatomy, pathology, and physiology. In his later years his interest turned to antiquities, and, in 1834, he published his study of the embalming of Egyptian mummies. which became the historic cornerstone of the study [of mummification] in English. Later, he helped found and manage the British Archaeological Association. Dr Annesley to whom this book is inscribed was, most likely, the doctor referenced in Pettigrew's later book "Biographical Memoirs of most celebrated physicians". Dr Annesely worked in India for over 35 years and there is a letter dated 1830 to Pettigrew from a mutual friend offering an introduction to Annesley on behalf of Pettigrew's son who was going to India.
