EDITORS COMMENTS
In this gelatin silver print from 1922, we are transported back to the momentous archaeological discovery of the Tomb of Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings. The photo captures Sir Charles Cust, adorned in a soft hat, alongside Mr Callender as they diligently sift through the ancient dust that blankets the floor of this historic tomb. With their focused expressions and meticulous actions, Cust and Callender carefully examine every particle for any broken parts or remnants of gold leaf. Their work is crucial in uncovering and preserving the treasures left behind by Tutankhamun's 18th Dynasty. The black and white composition adds an air of mystery to this already awe-inspiring scene. It highlights both the historical significance and delicate nature of their task. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can't help but be reminded of how these discoveries have shaped our understanding of ancient Egyptian civilization. This gelatin silver print is part of The Stapleton Collection, a private collection that cherishes moments like these - when history comes alive through photography. Through its lens, we are transported back to a time when explorers like Cust and Callender dedicated themselves to unraveling Egypt's secrets one grain at a time.
