-- 0ffrey, Eng. C. ang tendeg t helg ronty, itizeny ining deep edge, 'ea oo 1 hursday, July 1, 1948 By Nancy Amice Calverley, by trying her hand at everything: from costume designing: to intelligence work for the British army, has led a yaried and fascinating life. But it is for her amazingly detailed eproductions of primitive Egyp- ion hieroglyphics, as found in the tomb of Sethos, that she is most renowned. Born at Chelsea, England, Miss Calverley studied art and draught- bing at Slade School in London, while receiving her education at Bedford Grammar school. Ac- cording to her brother, Capt. Hugh Calverley, her childhood in- terests centred around painting and music, and by the age of 11 she had produced several compo- tions, When the family came Ito Oakville, Miss Calverley stud- ied music under Heeley Willan at the Toronto Conservatory of iMusic, where she won a scholar- ship to the Royal Conservatory of Music in London, Before she was 23, Miss Calverley had studied dress design at New York, work- ed at Wandmaker's department tore, received an offer of a job las a Powers model, and 23 pro- Lightbourn London to take a job painting Greek vases, since she had shown Promise in the same work in Oak. ville. Answering an advertise- ment in a London paper for a draughtsman to go to Egypt un- der Sir Robert Mond, proprietor of the Egyptian Exploration So- ciety, Miss Calverley accepted the Job. Although she worked hard, she gained little recognition, how- ever, since she was a new-comer and could not handle the native crews under her. Working in the Temple of Sethos, built about 2000 B.C, she reproduced the hieroglyphics on the ceiling by Dressing paper against the re- liefs and rubbing them with graphite, but had difficulty as the 100fS were honey-combed with bees' nests. "However, this provided valu- able experience," said Capt. Cal- verley, "and finally she interest- ed John D, Rockefeller in her work. With his aid she worked under the auspices of the Univer- sity of Chicago for 9 years, and in co-operation with Myrtle Broom, compiled . volumes = of drawings of the paintings on the Tomb of Sethos at Abydos, They [posals of marriage. Amice Calverley was sent to THE OAKVILLE-TRAFALGAR. JOURNAL - In the Woman's World - aried Arts Claim Interest Of Successful Career Girl minutely detailed murals from high scaffolds, erected by native Bangs. Absolute accuracy was essential as every curve in a line was significant to the meaning of the picture." 3 On her trips to and from Egypt, Amice Calverley began collecting embroidered textiles, many of which are now in the Toronto museum, while her collection of pottery and ceramics js in the London museum. Miss Calverley learned to fly," and to speak French, German, Italian and Arabic. In 1939 she fled through Rou- mania in her old joet, laden with priceless art treasures, barely es- caping the invading German arm- ies. Back in Oakville, Miss Calverley remodelled an old coach house on King St. into an attractive duplex, and then re- turned to England in the mechan- ical transport corps, Here she transferred to the intelligence service and was sent to Africa. Later Amice became a W.AF. lieutenant in the Brain Squad at Medima on the Thames, After, working with the UN.R. R.A. in Greece and Italy, she re- turned to New York to a job with Rockefeller and the Institute of Chicago. In '46 she returned to Egypt to make movies of the pyramids.
