Caroline Ransom Williams

 * ... that Egyptologist Caroline Ransom Williams supervised the reception and installation of the Tomb of Perneb at the Metropolitan Museum of Art ? Source: "One of the most fascinating is the story of the collection and installation of the mastaba tomb of Perneb at the Metropolitan Museum of Art... the assistant curator of Egyptian Art in 1916, Caroline Ransom, later Mrs. Grant Williams... spent hours on the administration of receiving the tomb, arranging for its installation, and planning for the opening of the tomb"
 * ALT1: ... that Egyptologist Caroline Ransom Williams was praised for the "thoroughness and sane judgment" shown in her Studies in ancient furniture? Source: Reviewing Studies in ancient furniture, "The present volume shows the same thoroughness and sane judgment."
 * Reviewed: Lucie Ingemann
 * Comment: If the first hook is preferred, could use tomb image or image of her working; if the second hook is used, then could show the frontispiece of book with color illustration of couch (all are on her page)

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Engaging detailed life of an influential woman, thank you! No copyvio obvious. I prefer the first hook by far, the licensed image is an excellent companion. - Minor in the article: you speak about her aunt, then "she", which I thought was the aunt ;) - Her married name comes up before the wedding is mentioned. The final short paragraphs might be combined. Squeezing text between two images is normally not a good idea. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:33, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the feedback, I made changes except for the images; they go too far down the page if all on the right. I could remove the dog, but I kinda want to include it, archiving items like the dog was a lot of her work. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 16:48, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you, - and I said "normally" ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:58, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
