EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of reverence and care as Mr. Alfred Lucas, Director of the Chemical Department of the Egyptian Government, tenderly moistens a 3000-year-old artifact from the Tomb of Tutankhamun with a fine brush. The date is February 17, 1923, and the importance of the scene is palpable as Lucas works diligently to preserve this priceless piece of history. The Tomb of Tutankhamun, discovered by Howard Carter in 1922, had captivated the world with its rich treasure trove of ancient Egyptian art and artifacts. The Egyptian Government, under the leadership of its Department of Antiquities, was committed to the careful preservation and study of these invaluable relics. Mr. Lucas, an expert in the field of chemical preservation, was a key figure in this endeavor. With a 07 brush in hand, he delicately applied a solution to the ancient object, ensuring its longevity for future generations. The ILN (Illustrated London News) captured this moment, providing a glimpse into the meticulous work being done to protect and preserve the treasures of Tutankhamun. The importance of this moment extends beyond the preservation of a single artifact. It represents the dedication and commitment of the Egyptian Government and its experts to the study and preservation of their rich cultural heritage. This photograph is a testament to the enduring value of history and the efforts to protect it for future generations.
