Sir William Edward Rouse Boughton (1788–1856)

Sir William Edward Rouse Boughton (1788–1856) was a British traveller and antiquarian who collected Egyptian artifacts, including papyrus fragments and an ushabti, in the early 19th century. His findings, particularly a damaged papyrus scroll, were significant enough to be published in the Society of Antiquaries of London’s journal Archaeologia in 1817. His finds were among the materials examined in the early, competitive days of deciphering hieroglyphs (c. 1814-1820), particularly involving researchers like Thomas Young.
