Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First American edition. Volume 1 only. 334pp. Octavo [22.5 cm] Decorative endpapers. Frontispiece portrait of Lord Carnarvon. Spine rolled. Several light ripples to the cloth on the boards. In the dust jacket, with clipped corners, a bit of chipping to the head of the spine and along the fold of the rear flap, a couple of short, thin red marks on the front panel, and minor dampstaining to the spine. The name "Mary E. J. Colter" with the date "1924" is written in pen on the title page. One can speculate that this refers to the notable American Southwest architect and designer Mary Elizabeth Jane Colter (1869-1958), creater of the Hopi House in the Grand Canyon National Park, and one of the country's few female architects of the period. She is considered a pioneering woman in the field of American architecture. With 104 illustrations from photographs by Harry Burton of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. The first authoritative account of the Earl of Carnarvon's famous discovery in the Valley of the Kings. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 68124

First editions, first impressions, of Carter's popular account of one of the most spectacular archaeological discovery of the 20th century. Volume I is in the uncommon publisher's presentation binding, the front cover of which bears the scarab device on a leather background. Carter began his association with the Earl of Carnarvon in 1909 and convinced him to gain a concession for the Valley of the Kings in 1914. While many believed that there was nothing of importance left in the valley to be discovered Carter thought otherwise. In the summer of 1922, Carter persuaded Carnarvon to allow him one more campaign, and, starting work earlier than usual, he opened up the stairway to the tomb of Tutankhamun on 4 November 1922. Carnarvon hurried to Luxor and entered the tomb on 26 November. "The discovery astounded the world: a royal tomb, mostly undisturbed, full of spectacular objects. Carter recruited a team of expert assistants to help him in the clearance of the tomb, and the conservation and recording of its remarkable contents. On 16 February 1923 the blocking to the burial chamber was removed, to reveal the unplundered body and funerary equipment of the dead king. Unhappily, the death of Lord Carnarvon on 5 April seriously affected the subsequent progress of Carter's work. In spite of considerable and repeated bureaucratic interference, not easily managed by the short-tempered excavator, work on the clearance of the tomb proceeded slowly but was not completed until 1932. Carter handled the technical processes of clearance, conservation, and recording with exemplary skill and care" (ODNB). The discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb unleashed a global passion for ancient Egypt. This was fuelled further by the death of Lord Carnarvon from blood poisoning, thought to be the "mummy's curse" for disturbing a mummy, especially a pharaoh. 3 vols, large octavo. Halftone photographic frontispiece in each vol., 186 similar plates (many recto and verso), taken from photographs by Harry Burton. Original brown fine diagonally-ribbed cloth, spines and front covers lettered in gilt, gilt scarab-and-sun-disc device on black ground on front covers, the ground consisting of onlaid brown sheep on vol. I, pictorial endpapers. Lightly rubbed, vol. I with a few marks and creasing of cloth on front cover, inner hinges starting or with neat repairs, minor toning: a very good copy.
