Burton and Carter were no modernists, although they were no doubt at least somewhat aware of the appeal ‘primitive’ art, including some ancient art, held for avant-garde artists and writers in the early twentieth century.42 The visual and written emphases that Burton and Carter respectively placed on the artistic qualities of Tutankhamun’s burial goods engage instead with the established discourse of progress that positivist scholarship had been developing for more than a century. Often explicitly couched as a question of West and Orient, this discourse traced a line of development leading to the admired, mimetic accomplishments that art attained in the Classical world and the Renaissance of southern and northern Europe. A selection of non-European art was integral to this narrative of art history, and non-Western cultures that were not formulated as ‘primitive’, in anthropological thought, could be incorporated – albeit in a circumscribed way – into art historical discourse; these included the arts of East Asia, the Islamic world, and the ancient Near East and Egypt.43
