Newberry is a scholarly work devoted to the exploration of ancient Egyptian seals, particularly scarabs, written in the early 20th century. This text serves as a thorough introduction to the significance, history, and uses of these artifacts, which played a vital role in the administration and social structure of ancient Egypt. The work is particularly aimed at students and collectors interested in Egyptian antiquities and provides insights into the craftsmanship and cultural implications surrounding these objects. The opening portion of the work begins with a preface where Newberry outlines the need for a comprehensive study of Egyptian seals, noting the previous lack of a scientific approach to the subject since the last significant publication in 1895. He shares his background and experiences, illustrating his extensive research while living near Thebes and frequenting antiquity shops. Newberry emphasizes that the study of seals, particularly the scarabs—which are often exquisitely preserved—offers invaluable insights into the history, social customs, and artistic evolution of ancient Egypt. He sets the stage for a detailed examination that promises to enhance the understanding not only of these small objects but also of the broader context of Egyptian civilization.
