A Lichfieldian in Egypt: Henry Salt's contribution to Egyptology

Forthcoming. Rosetta Issue 12.

A resident of Lichfield and a researcher of her local community history, the author provides an insight into the life of Lichfield-born Henry Salt (1780 – 1827); an artist, author, explorer of foreign lands, antiquity enthusiast and British Consul-General in Cairo in the early nineteenth century, when Muhammad Ali Pasha was the viceroy of Egypt and the Sudan. The focal point of her paper is the Egyptology-related activities of Salt, from commissioning archaeological digs to collecting antiquities and authoring books about the decipherment of hieroglyphs. The author refers to the contribution of this remarkable, yet enigmatic man to Egyptology and investigates why Henry Salt was, and still is, a misunderstood person by many.
