EDITORS COMMENTS
"In this evocative photograph, taken on January 29th, 1923, the 5th Earl of Carnarvon, Lord Carnarvon, is seen disembarking from a boat at Luxor with his daughter, Lady Evelyn Herbert. The occasion marks the arrival of Lord Carnarvon in Egypt for the highly anticipated opening of the sealed inner chamber at King Tutankhamen's tomb. The Governor of the Kena Province, Egypt, extends a warm welcome to Lady Evelyn with a large bouquet of flowers, a gesture of respect and admiration for the significant role she played in the discovery of the tomb in 1922. Lord Carnarvon's expedition team, led by Howard Carter, unearthed the tomb in the Valley of the Kings, a find that would captivate the world and ignite the public's fascination with ancient Egypt. The air of excitement and anticipation is palpable as Lord Carnarvon and his daughter prepare for the momentous event. The sun casts a golden glow over the Nile River, adding to the sense of grandeur and mystery that surrounds the discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb. The photograph captures a pivotal moment in history, as the world awaited the revelations that would soon be unveiled within the sacred chamber." This photograph, taken by the Illustrated London News Ltd, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of adventure, discovery, and the allure of ancient Egypt.
