Harry Burton (1879-1940) was an English photographer and archaeologist best known for his documentation of the excavation of the tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922. Born in Stamford, Lincolnshire, Burton studied photography in London before joining the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Egyptian Expedition in 1913. He worked as the official photographer for the expedition and documented the excavation of several tombs in Egypt, including those of Hatshepsut and Amenhotep III. Burton's most significant work was his documentation of the discovery and excavation of Tutankhamun's tomb, which he photographed over a period of ten years. His photographs of the tomb's treasures and the mummified remains of the pharaoh became famous worldwide and helped to popularize Egyptology. After the excavation, Burton continued to work as a photographer and archaeologist, documenting the temples of Karnak and Luxor and the tombs of the Valley of the Kings. He died in 1940 in Cairo, Egypt, leaving behind a legacy of stunning photographs that continue to inspire and fascinate people today.
