[CARTER HOWARD]: (1874-1939) English archaeologist and Egyptologist, discovered the Tomb of Tutankhamun in 1923. A partially printed document, completed in manuscript in an unknown hand, issued by Sotheby & Co., one page, 8vo, New Bond Street, London, 4th April 1940, addressed to Miss. P[hyllis] Walker, Carter's niece and legatee. The document is annotated 're Howard Carter (dec'd)' and informs Walker of the results of an auction, the four lots selling for a total of £48.5.0, adding 'A statement of account, showing the price realised by each lot, and a cheque for the balance (after deduction of all charges, etc.) will be sent to you at or about a month from this date'. An unusual piece of ephemera relating to the sale of Carter's antiquities. VG
Howard Carter left the majority of his London property and belongings to Phyllis Walker, stating in his will that 'I strongly recommend to her that she consult my Executors as to the advisability of selling any Egyptian or other antiquities included in this bequest'. When Walker and the Executors examined the contents of Carter's flat they discovered a small number of antiquities which had originated from the tomb of Tutankhamun.
