Detailed Small Mixed Media Painting titled "Tutankhamen's Tomb, Egypt". Skilfully painted on stiff paper which has been pasted to a thin sheet of steel so that it was ready for the printing process. Comes in a basic white mount which measures approximately 8.25 x 5.75 inches (21 x 15 cms).  Comes with the 1955 Churchman cigarette card that it was painted for.

Provenance: This came from Mardon, Son & Hall of Bristol, who were famous for dealing with the art and printing of the tobacco trade.  The business flourished after being set up in the Victorian era and was able to employ the best artists available.  The detail and quality of their work is incredible.  A team of artists would work for several months producing up to fifty hand painted pieces centred around a certain theme and then present it to the client, often Wills Tobacco company who would then authorise the reproduction.
