The Tomb of Iouiya and Touiyou

This tomb was the most significant archaeological find in the Valley of the Kings before the finding of King Tutankhamun's tomb. Iouiya (also Yuya) and Touiyou (also Tjuyu) were the parents of Queen Tiyem the chief wife of Amenhotep III, and the great-grandparents of King Tutankamun. The frontispiece is a full color plate of the nearly complete chariot decorated with rosettes in gilded plaster.

Theodore Davis provided the text on the finding of the tomb, Gaston Maspero provided notes on the couple; Percy Newberry described the objects found in the tomb, and Howard Carter supplied the illustrations.

Rare in first edition.

With the 'compliments' card of Theodore Davis laid-in.
