Myrtle Florence Broome (22 February 1888 – 27 January 1978) was a British Egyptologist and artist known for her illustrated work with Amice Calverley on the Temple of Seti I at Abydos in Egypt and her paintings of Egyptian village life in the 1920s and 1930s.

Calverley had been hired by the Egypt Exploration Society in 1927 to copy the wall scenes in the Temple of Seti I, c. 1300 BC at Abydos.

Rockefeller was so impressed with the painted reliefs and Calverley's photography like reproductions, that he decided to finance the entire project.

Besides using large photographs to record the reliefs, the artists penciled over lines and inscriptions for a completely accurate rendering.

[2] Broome and Calverley also used watercolor paintings to provide color to the reproductions, because only black and white photography was available at the time.

The two women traveled together throughout Egypt, taking trains and often driving across the desert in a Jowett car they named Joey; Broome's impressions from that time are noted in letters and illustrations that were sent to her parents.
