The British occupation of Egypt in 1882, combined with ever expanding travel networks, sparked an influx of tourists to that country, all seeking a piece of the archaeological action. Visitors like these – dressed impeccably, but impractically – could be found enjoying picnics in temples and clambering to the top of pyramids. Fascination with Egypt peaked with the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922.
