This is a unique opportunity to acquire prints of photographs taken by Harry Burton during the excavation of the tomb of Tutankhamun ... The limited number of photographs (only a few for each image) which are being offered for sale have been traditionally printed from Harry Burton's original glass negatives (not from scans) kept in the Archive of the Griffith Institute. They are black&white glossy contact prints, of the same size as the negatives, and have been made in the photographic studio of the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford sometime during the past fifty years. There are no plans to print more of them in the future, so this opportunity is unlikely to occur again. |
