EDITORS COMMENTS
In this gelatin silver print from 1923, we are transported back to the golden age of archaeological discovery in Egypt. Lady Ribblesdale and Mr Stephen Vlasto stand proudly before the awe-inspiring Tomb of Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings. The image captures a moment frozen in time, as these colonial tourists immerse themselves in the rich history and grandeur of ancient Egypt. The tomb, discovered by Howard Carter, holds secrets that have fascinated generations for centuries. Lady Ribblesdale's elegant attire and Mr Stephen Vlasto's dapper appearance add a touch of sophistication to this portrait against such an iconic backdrop. Their presence evokes a sense of wonderment and reverence for the past. Photographer Harry Burton skillfully frames their figures within the entrance to the tomb, emphasizing both their connection to this monumental discovery and their role as witnesses to its significance. This photograph not only serves as a visual record but also transports us into an era where exploration and adventure were at their peak. It reminds us of our enduring fascination with ancient civilizations and our desire to connect with them through art, culture, and history. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we can't help but feel inspired by those who came before us – explorers like Howard Carter – who dedicated their lives to unraveling mysteries buried deep within sands of time.
