The
Museum and Collections blog of University College London discusses the collecting habits of
Amelia B. Edwards (1831–92)—author, explorer, cofounder of the Egypt Exploration Fund that supported the expeditions of
William Flinders Petrie, and model for Elizabeth Peters's Amelia Peabody Emerson. The photos include
one of her study (complete with chandelier). Also mentioned is that English Heritage has placed one of its
blue plaques on Edwards's former residence in Clerkenwell.
