‘The Reincarnation of
Little Sekhmet’
Albert Ferdinand Pagnon
(1847-1909)
Brass Plaque to his Memory at the Luxor Hotel
On December 1, there will be opened a Hotel at Luxor, Thebes, Upper Egypt, under the
management of Messrs Pagnon and Rostovitz, with the personal supervision of Madame Pagnon
who has had twenty years’ experience in Egypt. THE CLIMATE of Upper Egypt during the winter
has long been known to the Profession for cases of incipient phthisis [tuberculosis], chronic
bronchitis and chronic laryngeal affections. Hitherto, patients who have been sent to Egypt must
either be sent to Cairo or go up the Nile in a dahabeah. ”
