(FIRST U. S. EDITION, very light shelfwear at spines, two corners lightly bumped).

Vol. I: Frontis. + xxviii + 334 pp. & 79 plates, 1 plan, 1 facsimile, spine a trifle darkened. 1923. Vol. II: Frontis. + xxxv + 408 pp. & 88 plates (moderate foxing to some 30 pages & edges; chipped d.j. to this vol. only). 1927.

Though a third (and final) volume appeared (in 1933) in the English (Cassell) edition, the American (Doran) edition was terminated with the second volume in 1927, published in a slightly smaller size binding with gilt-lettering and decoration of a scarab in gilt at the top board. The 257 illustrations on a total of 167 plates are from photographs by Harry Burton of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Volume II is inscribed (in ink) at the half-title : "To Mr. Richard Moon / With every kind thought & wish / Howard Carter, 1927." Inscribed presentation copies are extremely rare and seldom come on to the market!
