Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Oblong Folio album ca. 26,3x35,5 cm (10 ½ x 14 in). 94 card stock leaves. With 94 large original albumen photographs, each ca. 19x26,1 cm (7 ½ x 10 ¼ in); most photos captioned in French, signed and/or numbered in negatives (including ca. 22 prints by the Zangaki brothers, 12 prints by Pascal Sebah, 7 prints by Luigi Fiorillo, 5 prints by the Abdullah Freres, 3 prints by Antonio Beato, 1 print by Hippolyte Arnoux, 1 print by Gabriel Lekegian, and 1 print by Maison Bonfils). Period full-cloth album with marbled endpapers. Binding worn, album leaves with upward curling, occasional tears along the edges, but otherwise a very good album with strong, interesting photos. An interesting extensive collection of large albumen prints of Egypt taken by some of the most renowned early photographers of the region, including the Zangaki brothers, Pascal Sebah, Luigi Fiorillo, the Abdullah Freres, Antonio Beato, Hippolyte Arnoux, Gabriel Lekegian, and Maison Bonfils. The album contains ninety-four studio photographs, with about twenty excellent portraits of local settlers. The photos vividly portray Egyptian messengers, water carriers, porters, beggars, and guards, as well as Fellahin women in burqas carrying water jars or balancing vegetables on their heads. Especially interesting are several candid urban scenes showing wheat & date harvesting, a cargo of clay pots on the banks of the Nile, a camel caravan crossing the Suez Canal via a chain ferry, European travelers posing atop camels, etc. There's also a lively street scene on Sultan Hussein Quay in Port Said, with clearly visible locals, horse carts, and shop signs reading "The Eastern Telegraph Co.," "Henry's, King & Co.," "Thos. Cook & Son," and "Bank of Egypt Limited." Other photographs mostly show panoramic views and iconic landmarks in Cairo (the Mosque of Muhammad Ali, the Gezirah Palace, the Obelisk of Heliopolis, Giza Palace, and the Tombs of the Caliphs, etc.); Port Said (waterfront scenes, the Dutch House, Franz Joseph Quay with its lighthouse, and the Square of Ferdinand de Lesseps); Alexandria (the Mahmudiyya Canal, Ras El Tin Palace, Pompey's Pillar, an Egyptian artillery position in the al-Maqs area, destroyed during the 1882 British bombardment); Gaza (the Great Sphinx and general views of the Pyramids); Saqqara (the Step Pyramid of Djoser and the interior of the Mastaba of Mereruka); Abydos (Temple of Osiris); Philae (Temple of Isis); Abu Simbel (Great Temple of Ramesses); Luxor (Luxor Temple, general view); and Guirgueh (general view). The collection also includes about twenty photographs of the Suez Canal (entrance, the canal company's bureau, and vessels in transit) and a photographic reproduction of a map charting the Suez Canal route (with the photos of Ismael Pasha and Ferdinand De Lesseps). Overall, historically interesting collection of excellent studio prints of Egypt taken by some of the most renowned early photographers of the region.…
