Tutankhamun
Alvin Grossman, 1976
Description
This book was designed and edited to take you on a step-by-step tour through the 3200-year old tom with its treasures. The original black and white photographs made in 1920 are juxtaposed with the modern color pictures to completely bridge the span of time from discovery to today’s exhibition of Tutankhamun’s treasures.
