Unpublished, amateur photos of Howard Carter and the Tomb of Tutankhamun in 1923

Private photographs taken in the Valley of Kings, Egypt [1923]
 
A collection of 4 card boards about A3 in size, each one measuring 35cm by 28cm, being a series of photographs laid down on both sides; There are a total of 45 black and white photographs taken, of which 36 are of Egypt, and 6 in particular are of Howard Carter and the Tomb of Tutankhamun; each of the boards has ink hand writing by the photographer, with 1 being labelled as ‘Mr Howard Carter’; The boards are in very good condition in general, there are foxing marks and one of the boards has edge wear tears to the left hand side, but these have not damaged the photos, there are also sporadic marks; overall though very good.
 
Not much is known about the photographer(s), other than they were called Mr and Mrs Wise, and in 1923, they went on two vacations. They went in the summer of 1923, to Devon and there are a few photographs of them and their daughter Kath, in Ilfracombe, with their motor car. They also went to the Valley of Kings, in January 1923 – they had timed their visit at the same time Howard Carter and his team were removing items from the Tomb of Tutankhamun. 
 
Mr and Mrs Wise took 36 pictures including of the Temple of Luxor, The River Nile, Tomb of Kings and the Temple of Karnak, but it is the 6 unpublished and unrecorded pictures of Howard Carter and his team at work here that are scarce and the most insightful. As Carter’s discovery gained notoriety, by February 1923, the surrounding area around the tomb was mobbed with visitors eager for a glimpse of the treasures that were being taken out. Tutmania had broken out. But Mr and Mrs Wise managed to get up close to what was happening before all of this and so managed to walk up to the tomb without much fuss. They went right up to the edge above the entrance, whilst Howard Carter and his team worked and were able to take pictures of them.  There is an astonishing picture taken by them of Howard Carter and his team taking a preserved, burial bouquet out of the tomb entrance on a stretcher, and then Carter supervising its transportation.
 
There have been official photographs come on to the market before of Carter and his team working like this, but it is scarce to find unrecorded, unpublished, amateur photographs of the event.
