• The photograph was probably taken in early 1923; the postcard's production date is unknown, but it was almost certainly in the 1920s.
• Egyptian team members carrying the body of one of Tutankhamun's chariots (Carter 122) from the King's tomb to the nearby 'Laboratory' set-up in the tomb of Sethos II (KV15).
