About the Artwork:
‘He descended in broad daylight with a tube of ‘Mummy Brown’ in his hand,
saying that he had discovered it was made of dead Pharaohs and we must
bury it accordingly. So we all went out and helped – according to the
rites of Mizraim and Memphis, I hope – and – to this day I could drive a
spade within a foot of where that tube lies.’
Rudyard Kipling
