NEW YORK TIMES, December 22, 1922

* Discovery of King Tutankhamun's tomb
* Egyptian Pharaoh - Howard Carter
* New York Times reporter visits


The top of the front page has a one column heading: "TIMES MAN VIEWS SPLENDORS OF TOMB OF TUTANKHAMEN" with subheads. (see images) This was during the historic discovery of King Tut's tomb by British archaeologist Howard Carter. It would not be for another couple of months before the room containing the mummy of King Tut would be opened, sparking another flurry of international attention.
Complete in 32 pages, light toning and a little wear at the margins, a little irregular along the spine, generally in good condition.
