EDITORS COMMENTS
This gelatin silver print captures a historic moment in 1922, as H. E. Abd El Aziz Yehieh Bey, Governor of Kena, Lord Carnarvon (1866-1923), Mohamed Fahmy Bey, Momour Markay, Luxor and Sheikh Ahmed Shaker, Judge of Luxor engage in lively conversation on the terrace of the Winter Palace Hotel. The image was taken by renowned photographer Harry Burton (1879-1940) and measures 25.5x20.2 cm. The photograph holds significant cultural importance as it documents Lord Carnarvon's first visit to the Valley of the Kings during which he discovered the Tomb of Tutankhamun. This groundbreaking archaeological find would go on to captivate audiences worldwide and shed light on ancient Egyptian civilization. In this portrait-like composition, we see a group of distinguished individuals engaged in animated discussion against the backdrop of Luxor's stunning scenery. They are adorned with traditional attire including fez hats and turbans that reflect their aristocratic status and evoke images from Egypt's New Kingdom period. Lord Carnarvon himself stands out amongst his companions; an English aristocrat who played a pivotal role in uncovering Egypt's rich history through his passion for archaeology. This gelatin silver print is part of The Stapleton Collection and belongs to a private collection today. It serves as a testament to both historical significance and artistic excellence captured by Harry Burton's lens during this remarkable encounter at the Winter Palace Hotel terrace in 1922.
