Kitten Goes to the Manchester Museum

Ok it's pretty much official now. I only seem to be able to post every 8 days. Ridiculous.

Anyway this is what was working on last week. I handed it in yesterday so hopefully I won't be done for self-plagiarism but if some Important University Person is reading this... I am just posting some work that I already handed in!

Also I owe an awful lot to two books in particular so I want to post links to them to make sure they get the credit they deserve:
1. Ottoline at the British Museum by Sally Craddock

2. Ancient Faces: Mummy Portraits from Roman Egypt

All drawings are my own, photographs are my own or taken from 'Ancient Faces' (or other publications cited in the bibliography). I have not requested permission to use the images I do not own but have used them purely for research and will taken them down if required.

Ok, on with the project!

Having been given the assignment ‘How can we reconstruct the lives of ancient people using papyri?’ I have opted to create a book designed to appeal to a younger audience. This is in keeping with the aims of the forthcoming exhibition at John Rylands Library Deansgate to make the artifacts featured in ‘Kitten Goes to the Manchester Museum’ more accessible.

The End.

(I will do a separate post, perhaps on Friday, with the full bibliog because there's no room here and also some pictures I took behind the scenes at the Museum!)
