The Tutankamun exhibition has just arrived in London. By coincidence, I came across the following on the Savile Row Bespoke website (under History of Savile Row):

"1922: Resplendent in Norton & Sons tweeds, philanthropist/bounty hunter Lord Carnarvon and Howard Carter discover the tomb of Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings, Egypt."

I wonder whether anyone can source some images of Messrs Carnarvon and Carter at their resplendent best?
