'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.'
