While the monumental sculptures of ancient Egypt are more widely known, the simple pleasures of life as it was lived are better portrayed in textiles, which carried designs commemorating the joys of festivals, food, and dancing. This title presents 103 full-colour images of the astonishing textile collection of Rose Choron.
