About This Item
London: The Connoisseur and Michael Joseph, 1963 The very name Tutankhamen has come to represent one of the most romantic and exciting moments of ancient history and modern archaeology. Egypt, land of the Pyramids, at the height of her magnificent civilization; a young king whose burial treasure of staggering wealth and unsurpassed beauty was discovered almost intact; and an archaeological find that astounded the world and seemingly laid a curse on the members of the expedition. What is fact and what is fancy; is the truth stranger, than the legend? Here, in an impressive combination of provocative text and superlative colour plates, is the disclosure of indeed a strange and wonderful truth. Christiane Desroches-Noble court, Chief Curator of the National Museums of France, and F.L.Kenett, photographer of sculpture par excellence, have put their remarkable talents together to produce what is certainly one of the most interesting and beautiful books ever published. The art objects from Tutankhamen's have never before been photographed out of their cases in colour or ever reproduced with such fidelity. Previous owner's name inked on flyleaf. Ex Libris sticker on title page. Size: Approx 7½ " Wide - 10 " Tall
