Title:

Stein Collection: Two portrait of Sir Aurel Stein at Dura-Europos, Syria, 1929. Photographer(s): Unknown

Scope & Content:

Two loose prints with covering letter from Maurice Pillet, Field Director of the 1928 joint French-American expedition to Dura-Europos, dated Paris 27 June 1929. In this letter Pillet asks Stein to accept the photographs as a souvenir of his time at Dura-Europos and thanks him for sharing his knowledge of the history and archaeology of Asia during his short visit: 'It goes without saying that I would be very happy to welcome you again to Salhiyah for as long as you wished. Our house is completed and is comfortable, but our tents remain, if you prefer.'

Stein's visit to Dura-Europos is described by the American archaeologist Clark Hopkins in his account of the excavations there: Clark Hopkins (ed. Bernard Goldman), The Discovery of Dura-Europos (New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 1979), pp. 59-60
