Description:
Letter from William Holman Hunt to [John Everett] Millais, incorporating two sketches. Holman Hunt writes of 'living within the sights of the old pyramids' and of his resolve to 'give himself into the hands of two guides to penetrate in the the central chamber.' The letter goes on to give an account of Holman Hunt's exploration of the central chamber, within the pyramid. The first illustration depicts a single figure [possibly one of the guides] in a tunnel. Below is the second illustration which depicts a side view of three figures [probably Holman Hunt in the middle of the two guides] in a tunnel.
