Description

The Tomb of Tut-ankh-amen, inscribed in the year of publication

Signed book: The Tomb of Tut-ankh-amen: The Second Volume. First American edition. NY: George H. Doran, 1927. Hardcover with dust jacket, 6 x 8.75, 408 pages. Signed and inscribed on the half-title page in fountain pen, "To Mr. Richard Moon, With every kind thought & wish, Howard Carter, 1927." Autographic condition: very good, with moderate overall foxing to the signed page. Book condition: VG/VG. Also includes an unsigned first American edition of the first volume, published by Doran in 1923. Carter is generally uncommon, particularly so in signed books; this example, concerning his greatest discovery, is of the utmost desirability.
