EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Lady Evelyn Herbert, the only daughter of the 5th Earl of Carnarvon, Lord George Herbert, stands in awe before the entrance to the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamen in the Valley of the Kings, Egypt. Dressed in a long, flowing white dress and holding a small parasol to shield herself from the sun, Lady Evelyn is the first woman to set eyes upon the interior of this ancient tomb, discovered by her father and Howard Carter in 1922. The historical significance of this moment is palpable as Lady Evelyn gazes intently at the intricately decorated doorway, her expression one of wonder and excitement. Behind her, the sun casts long shadows across the sand, adding to the sense of mystery and adventure that surrounded the discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb. Lady Evelyn's presence in the tomb was a groundbreaking moment for women in archaeology and history. At a time when women were often relegated to the sidelines of archaeological expeditions, Lady Evelyn's involvement in the discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb demonstrated that women were capable of making significant contributions to the field. This photograph captures a pivotal moment in history, one that continues to fascinate and inspire people around the world. The discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb and Lady Evelyn's role in it remain an enduring symbol of the power of curiosity, exploration, and the pursuit of knowledge. Taken in 1923, this photograph is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of ancient Egypt and the important role that Lady Evelyn Herbert played in bringing it to light for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
