Ten original large format albumen prints depicting Egyptian street scenes and portraits of various Middle Eastern peoples resident in Egypt. 28 x 21.5cm. Seven of the images titled and signed in the negative by the photographers Langaki, Peridis, or Georgiladakis; although with the other three also almost certainly by the same photographers. Each photograph has been tipped at the head onto a later sheet of card and additionally titled in pencil to the foot. Most of the photographs have a little creasing to the corners and edges, occasional wrinkling, the odd minor spot of foxing to the verso, a few small nicks to the extremities (a few with small 1cm tears, one with an old paper repair verso), a 2.5cm tear to the right-hand side of the 'Arabian Family', a 2cm tear to the right-hand side of the 'Turkish Dancing Girl', and one image (the Bread Sellers) with the title trimmed at the foot; the card mounts with a little bumping to the corners. An appealing group of images by these early photographers of Egypt, comprising: a "Fruit Seller" (Langaki); "Street Hawkers in Cairo" (Peridis); "Arab Drinking his Coffee" (Langaki); "Merchants Selling Food" (Peridis); "Selling Bread, Cairo"; "Arabian Family" (Peridis & Georgiladakis); "Blind Beggar"; "Street Fruit Seller" (Langaki); "Turkish Dancing Girl"; and "Entrance to the Pyramid of Cheops" (Peridis).
