Content: Printed on border: "The above is a photograph of an Egyptian wig for a lady, in the style of the 18th dynasty, B.C. 1400, and also a wig-box made of kash or writing reeds, discovered in a tomb at Thebes. The excellent state of preservation in which these two objects were found is wonderful."
