EDITORS COMMENTS
This gelatin silver print captures a significant moment in history - Lord Carnarvon's first visit to the Valley of the Kings. In 1922, Lord Carnarvon, accompanied by his daughter Lady Evelyn Herbert and renowned archaeologist Howard Carter, stands at the entrance to the Tomb of Tutankhamun. The image, taken by Harry Burton, measures 25.5x20.2 cm and is now part of a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection. The photograph showcases an archaeological discovery that would captivate the world - the excavation of Tutankhamun's tomb during Egypt's New Kingdom period. As they stand on ancient steps leading into this sacred site, one can only imagine their anticipation and excitement for what lies within. Lord Carnarvon (1866-1923), also known as George Edward Stanhope Molyneux Herbert, was an English aristocrat with a passion for Egyptology. His collaboration with Carter led to one of the most remarkable finds in history - King Tutankhamun's tomb filled with treasures from over 3,000 years ago. This image not only represents a pivotal moment in Lord Carnarvon's life but also symbolizes British involvement in Egyptian archaeology during this time. It serves as a testament to both human curiosity and our enduring fascination with ancient civilizations. Bridgeman Images has preserved this extraordinary photograph from Fine Art Finder, allowing us to glimpse into this monumental event that forever changed our understanding of ancient Egypt.
