Description

Howard Carter: From Tracer to Tutankhamun by Carl Graves is a fascinating biography that sheds new light on the life and legacy of one of Egypt's greatest archaeologists. Born into an artistic family, Howard Carter began his career in 1891 as an artist for the Egypt Exploration Fund, pioneering new techniques in archaeological recording. His remarkable watercolour painting, EES.ART.224, is a testament to his expertise, depicting a scene from Hatshepsut's temple at Deir el-Bahari. This rare and beautiful work provides a unique glimpse into the life of Queen Senseneb, one of the few subjects ever depicted in art. By exploring Carter's remarkable career, Carl Graves brings to light an often-overlooked chapter in Egyptology.
