1st Edition
Photographing Tutankhamun Archaeology, Ancient Egypt, and the Archive
Biography
Christina Riggs is Professor of the History of Visual Culture at Durham University.
'A beautifully written and fascinating account of the photographs and photographic practices related to Tutankhamun. It will be a landmark study in the relationships between archives, photographs, and archaeology.'
--J.A. Baird, Birkbeck College, University of London, UK
'Photographing Tutankhamun is a remarkable achievement for many different reasons, but it is perhaps this contribution that makes the book stand out. [...] Riggs’s ability to look across social, empirical and theoretical domains and not lose sight of the idiosyncrasies of Tutankhamun offers a valuable case study in recognising the oscillations and contingencies underpinning the work of photographs in archaeological practice.'
