Myers William Joeph ( 04.08.1858 - 30.10.1899 )
William Joseph Myers was a British army officer and collector. Among other positions, he served in the Nile Expedition and was stationed in Egypt in 1882–1887. His collection of Egyptian antiquities included some predynastic material; he bequeathed it to Eton College primarily, with objects also now in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, and the National Museums of Scotland, Edinburgh. See also the sale at Sotheby’s, 15-17 July 1918, for additional objects from his collection.
