EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Fascinating Reportage of Agatha Christie and Her Archaeologist Husband's Expedition to Discover a Lost Civilization in Northern Iraq, 1933 This evocative reportage photograph captures the enigmatic figure of Agatha Christie, Dame Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie, DBE (1890-1976), the renowned British novelist and playwright, as she prepares to embark on an extraordinary adventure. Accompanying her husband, the esteemed archaeologist Sir Max Edgar Lucien Mallowan, CBE Kt (1904-1978), they lead an expedition to uncover a lost civilization, believed to be over 6000 years old, in the rugged terrain of Northern Iraq. Agatha Christie, dressed in a stylish yet practical outfit, is captured on the doorstep of their residence, her expression hinting at a sense of anticipation and excitement. Her husband, Sir Max Mallowan, a distinguished archaeologist and expert in ancient Middle Eastern history, stands beside her, deep in thought, no doubt pondering the challenges and discoveries that await them. The year is 1933, and the era is the 1930s - a time of colonialism, exploration, and discovery. Agatha Christie, best known for her crime novels and plays, had long been intrigued by archaeology and the ancient world. Her marriage to Sir Max Mallowan, who shared her passion, provided her with the opportunity to experience firsthand the thrill of uncovering the mysteries of the past. As they set off on their expedition, the couple would encounter numerous challenges and discoveries, their journey chronicled in Ericus's article, "Up the Rebels! - And Others." This photograph serves as a captivating reminder of their groundbreaking exploration and the enduring partnership between a novelist and archaeologist, united in their quest for knowledge and discovery.
