The first look into the sarcophagus and cleaning of the outer coffin had already happened during the 3rd season, in early February 1925. At this stage, details such as the floral wreath placed across the forehead of the coffin lid were captured through the photography of Harry Burton.

Carter also recorded the linen sheets covering the coffin, which sadly were too fragile to survive but details were captured in his ‘object cards’, written for each item uncovered in the tomb.

On 13th October 1925, with an early start of 7am, Carter describes in his journal the inspection of the coffin and various technical considerations needed, considering the coffin size and the narrow dimensions of the Burial Chamber.

With Michael Gabriel's permission, our Digital Imaging Officer Jenni scanned his original colour negative and produced this parallel stereo pair from two of the four Nimslo frames.

The Nimslo is a 'stereo 3D quadrascopic' camera that produced pictures which could be seen in 3D without a stereoscope. It used 35mm film and shot four images simultaneously which were then overlaid using lenticular printing.

This year we offer this quintessential Oxford moment: author Colin Dexter during the shooting of the 1993 Inspector Morse episode "Twilight of the Gods", beautifully captured in 3D by Michael Gabriel using his Nimslo camera. (In the foreground is an unknown supporting artiste in costume.)
