Margo Veillon: Nubia: Sketches, Notes, and Photographs "Annales du Service des AntiquitŽs de lÕEgypte; Vol. 76; Antiquities organizing informationJohn RodenbeckFrom 1964 onward much of the ancient land of Nubia sank forever in the waters of Lake Nasser, behind the new Aswan High Dam. Margo Veillon had been fascinated by the vibrancy, color, and movement of the life of ordinary people in Nubia since the 1930s. In the company of friends and fellow artists she made numerous extended visits to capture in her artwork a lifestyle that has now vanished. This book is a record of her journeys.
