EDITORS COMMENTS
This gelatin silver print captures a pivotal moment in history - the excavation of the Tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922. Taken by renowned photographer Harry Burton, this photograph showcases the delicate process of moving the centre portion of one of the beds or couches found within the tomb. The image transports us to the Valley of the Kings, where archaeologists meticulously unearthed ancient treasures from Egypt's New Kingdom. The entrance to this archaeological site is shrouded in mystery and intrigue, as it holds clues about an era long gone. Intricately carved and adorned with symbols and hieroglyphics, these funerary objects provide a glimpse into Egyptian antiquity during the 18th dynasty. Each artefact discovered adds another piece to our understanding of this fascinating civilization. Burton's expert eye for detail allows us to appreciate not only the historical significance but also the artistic beauty captured within this photograph. The play between light and shadow accentuates every intricate line etched into these precious relics. As we gaze upon this gelatin silver print, we are reminded that photography itself is an art form capable of preserving moments frozen in time. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' dedication to archiving such masterpieces, we can continue to marvel at these extraordinary discoveries for generations to come.
