In 1979, Griffiths wrote to Heerma van Voss: "I have had a stroke of luck with the earliest known representation of Osiris. It has never published before and so I thought it would be nice as the frontispiece of my book." He further asked Heerma van Voss to send the photograph to Brill for inclusion in the book which was still in preparation. Heerma van Voss did just that and the earliest known representation of Osiris has been published in this book a year later. OSIRIS-6 .
