EDITORS COMMENTS
This gelatin silver print captures a significant moment in history as the body of a gilt chariot is delicately removed from the Tomb of Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings. The photograph, taken by Harry Burton, measures 25.5x20.2 cm and belongs to a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection. In this image, we witness an archaeological discovery unfolding before our eyes. A group of workers can be seen carefully carrying the funerary treasure box containing the precious chariot remains. Their faces reflect both excitement and reverence for this remarkable find. The scene takes us back to ancient Egypt during the New Kingdom era, specifically to the 18th Dynasty when Tutankhamun ruled. This young pharaoh's tomb has become synonymous with unparalleled wealth and mystery, making every artifact that emerges from it all the more fascinating. Burton's expert photography skills capture not only the physicality of these workers but also their dedication to preserving history through their careful handling of each piece they uncover. The composition draws attention to their strength and determination as they navigate through narrow pathways within this sacred site. As we gaze upon this gelatin silver print, we are transported into a world where time stands still – where treasures long forgotten are given new life under Burton's lens. It serves as a testament to human curiosity and our unending quest for knowledge about civilizations that came before us.
