Jane (Trill) van Gelder
A 19th-century writer with a flair for bold biblical-historical interpretation, she is best known for The Storehouses of the King, a work that links the pyramids of Egypt to the story of Joseph. Her surviving record is sparse, but her book remains a curious example of Victorian religious and historical imagination.

About the author
Very little biographical information about this author could be confirmed from reliable library and public-domain book sources. She is identified in major catalog records as Jane (Trill) van Gelder, and is known for The Storehouses of the King; or, The Pyramids of Egypt, What They Are, and Who Built Them, published in 1885.
That book argues for a biblical explanation of the Egyptian pyramids, reflecting a style of 19th-century writing that mixed scripture, history, and speculation. Because so few dependable personal details are readily documented, her reputation today rests mainly on this unusual work and its continued availability through public-domain archives and library catalogs.
