Carter Craze Demonstrates Discovery Howard Inspiration Interest Source Tableaux Tomb Tutankhamen Tutankhamens 1922
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image from 1914 showcases the enduring fascination with Egyptian culture that predates the discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb by Howard Carter in 1922. The photograph, which demonstrates the theatrical flair for Egyptian-inspired costumes and tableaux, features a group of women adorned in intricately designed Egyptian garb. Their regal attire, complete with headdresses and gold jewelry, reflects the popular interest in all things Egyptian that had already taken hold in the early 20th century. The image, which is reminiscent of a scene from a grand Egyptian-themed production, captures the essence of the 'Tutmania' craze that would later sweep the world following the discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb. However, it is essential to note that this photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, predates the discovery of the tomb by eight years. The women in the photograph exude an air of mystery and allure, their poses evoking the grandeur and sophistication of ancient Egyptian civilization. The box in the foreground, adorned with hieroglyphics and Egyptian motifs, further emphasizes the connection to the ancient world. This photograph is a testament to the fact that the Egyptian revival was well underway before the most famous discovery of all, and the fascination with this enigmatic culture continued to captivate the imagination of people for decades to come.
