One of only two images showing Howard Carter (on the left) and Lord Carnarvon together in Tutankhamun's tomb; they stand in the partially dismantled doorway between the Antechamber and the Burial Chamber. Lord Carnarvon died less than two months after this photograph was taken (February 16 1923).Lord Carnarvon (on left) looks over the partly removed sealed doorway between the Antechamber and the Burial Chamber in Tutankhamun's tomb, with Howard Carter next to him. They stand on a wooden platform which was specially constructed for the occasion. The side of the first (outer) shrine over the sarcophagus was immediately behind the blocking, but it is not yet visible in this photograph (February 16 1923).Howard Carter (on the left) standing in the doorway between the Antechamber and the Burial Chamber in Tutankhamun's tomb. Next to him is his closest collaborator Arthur Mace, a former student of Flinders Petrie, who co-authored the first volume of the book 'The Tomb of Tutankhamun' with Carter (February 16 1923).Howard Carter (on the right) working with his friend and colleague, Arthur Callender, on wrapping one of the two sentinel statues of the King found in the Antechamber before its removal to the 'laboratory' set up in the tomb of Sethos II. The statue shows the King wearing a headress, kilt and sandals and carrying a mace and staff (November 30 1923).Howard Carter (at the top of the stairs), Arthur Callender and Egyptian workmen removing the wall between the Antechamber and the Burial Chamber to enable the dismantling of the four golden shrines enclosing the sarcophagus (December 2 1923).Arthur Mace (left) and Alfred Lucas (right) working outside the 'laboratory' set up in the tomb of Sethos II, stabilising the surface of one of the state chariots found in the Antechamber (November/December 1923).Egyptian workmen broke down the partition wall to enable the dismantling of the four golden shrines enclosing the sarcophagus. With its double sloping roof, the shape of the outermost shrine was made of from 20 separate oak sections, held together by a variety of different joints.The autopsy of King Tutankhamun's body was performed in the 'laboratory' set up in the tomb of Sethos II (KV 15). Douglas Derry made the first incision, with Howard Carter (holding a magnifying glass) assisting. Pierre Lacau, Saleh Bey Hamdi and several Egyptain dignitaries were also present.Howard Carter looking through the doors of the second shrine. This shrine was constructed from 16 separate parts, gilded on both the inside and the outside. It has sloping sides with a cavetto cornice and a single sloping roof (January 4 1924).Howard Carter working on the lid of the second (middle) coffin, still nestled within the case of the first (outermost) coffin in the Burial chamber (October 1925).
