EDITORS COMMENTS
This gelatin silver print captures a historic moment in archaeology as Lord Carnarvon, Lady Evelyn Herbert, and Howard Carter stand before the magnificent Tomb of Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings. The photograph, taken by Harry Burton, measures 21.5x20.1 cm and is part of a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection. Lord Carnarvon (1866-1923), an English aristocrat also known as George Edward Stanhope Molyneux Herbert, was a prominent figure in the excavation of ancient Egyptian sites during the early 20th century. His partnership with renowned Egyptologist Howard Carter (1873-1939) led to one of history's most extraordinary archaeological discoveries - the tomb of Tutankhamun. In this image, we witness their shared excitement and anticipation as they explore the sacred site that would soon reveal its hidden treasures to them and captivate people around the world. The photo showcases not only their passion for unraveling Egypt's rich history but also highlights their deep respect for its cultural heritage. The presence of Lady Evelyn Herbert adds another layer to this remarkable scene. As Lord Carnarvon's daughter and an avid supporter of his expeditions, she played an integral role in financing and assisting with various aspects of their work. Through this gelatin silver print, we are transported back to a time when these three individuals stood on the brink of uncovering one of civilization's greatest secrets - forever changing our understanding of ancient Egypt and leaving an indelible mark on archaeological exploration.
