EDITORS COMMENTS
This gelatin silver print captures a significant moment in history - the mannequin or bust of Tutankhamun being delicately carried from his tomb in the Valley of the Kings. Taken in 1922 by renowned photographer Harry Burton, this photograph measures 25.5x20.2 cm and is part of a private collection. The discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb by Howard Carter was an archaeological breakthrough that fascinated the world. This life-size model, used for trying on the king's robes, provides a glimpse into ancient Egyptian culture during the New Kingdom period. Intriguingly, this image showcases not only the treasure-filled burial chamber but also highlights the meticulous care taken to preserve and transport these priceless artifacts. The pharaoh's guard can be seen accompanying this precious cargo as it is carefully maneuvered through narrow passageways. Burton's skillful photography brings out intricate details and textures, allowing viewers to appreciate both the craftsmanship of ancient Egypt and his own artistic prowess behind the lens. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to a time when kings ruled with divine authority and their tombs held immeasurable wealth waiting to be uncovered by intrepid archaeologists like Howard Carter. It serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with uncovering secrets from civilizations long past.
