Scope and content
- Digital image.
- The original photographer is not known, perhaps taken by The Times photographer, probably in early 1923.
- A donkey procession in the Valley of the Kings.
At the front, riding sidesaddle is Howard Carter, followed by Arthur Mace (wearing a dark hat). The man partially obscured by Mace is Alfred Lucas. At the back, riding the last donkey is Arthur Callender. - Donkeys were the main form of transport to and from Tutankhamun's tomb.
- TAA ii.6.62 almost certainly records the same event.
