Harry Burton's small glass plate negatives

Howard Carter's negatives

Later film negatives, made from original Burton photographs

• Some are original Harry Burton negatives.
• Carter's negatives are views of the area around the tomb entrance and the outer sealed doorway when the tomb was found in 1922 and before Burton joined the Tutankhamun excavation team in December 1922.
• Glass and film negatives.
• Approximately 1000 negatives (400 glass and 600 film)
• Number ranges 1-2024 and i-xcvii
• The negative number ranges comprise both the small and large negatives (large, see TAA i.5)
• A few original negatives in this series were created by Howard Carter, see above.
• Many of the negatives were made later in the Ashmolean Museum photographic studio from photographs supplied by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, following an exchange of images in the 1950s.
• Includes modern film negatives made in the Ashmolean Museum photographic studio from the original Harry Burton photographic prints in the Tutankhamun Archive, Griffith Institute.

• Postcard
• Photograph, photographer not known.
• The photograph was probably taken in early 1923; the postcard's production date is unknown, but it was almost certainly in the 1920s.
• An Egyptian team member, accompanied by Arthur Callendar [right, foreground] and an armed guard [centre, background], carries a tray containing a reed and papyrus box (Carter 42) and an ornamental box made of redwood inlaid with ebony and ivory. The objects are being transported from Tutankhamun's tomb to the nearby 'Laboratory' (the tomb of King Sety II, KV15).

• Postcard
• Photograph, photographer not known.
• The photograph was taken on 24th January 1923, the day Carter recorded this couch being moved; the postcard's production date is unknown, but it was almost certainly sometime in the 1920s.
• Howard Carter (left), assisted by Walter Hauser (right), manoeuvring the right side of the cow-headed couch (Carter 73) into a packing case in preparation for its transfer to the nearby 'Laboratory' set up in the tomb of Sethos II (KV15).

• Postcard
• Photograph, photographer not known.
• The photograph was probably taken in early 1923; the postcard's production date is unknown, but it was almost certainly in the 1920s.
• (Carter 116)
• An Egyptian team member carrying the wooden portrait figure of Tutankhamun, the so-called "mannequin", from the King's tomb to the nearby "Laboratory" tomb (KV 15, of Sethos II) for cleaning and conservation. The man holding the bust is escorted by an armed guard and another Egyptian excavation team member, which was necessary to ensure the safe movement of objects through the Valley of the Kings following the announcement of the tomb's discovery, which attracted large crowds of journalists and tourists who flocked to Luxor hoping to see the tomb and view objects as they were being moved.
• The portrait bust of Tutankhamun [Carter 116] was found in the tomb's Antechamber. The King is portrayed wearing a yellow flat-topped crown featuring the centrally positioned uraeus on the crown's temple band. The King also wears a close-fitting white garment.
• The bust's purpose is unclear, but it probably displayed part of the King's regalia. A recent proposal is that it may have been originally used for supporting and storing the King's gold corset (Carter 54k) in the tomb. When thieves ransacked the tomb in antiquity, these robbers likely removed the corset from the bust before breaking the heavy regalia into smaller, portable pieces.

• This photograph was not taken by Harry Burton.
