Egypt
In December - January of this year, Helen Stanley and her husband Rodger Jacobsen made an extensive trip to Egypt, traveling down the Nile by boat and visiting all the historic sites. They had no inkling of the unrest that was to come in a matter of a week after their departure. Helen kept with her a llittle drawing book wrapped in leather and made drawings of their adventures in beautiful walnut inks. The original journal will be on display along with a limited edition book of the drawings bound in papyrus. Stay tuned for images of the new book.
