Printed at Chicago House the field headquarters of the Survey in Luxor. "Unlike other methods of reproduction in which an artificial light source is used on a mass-production basis the glass negatives have been exposed individually to direct sunlight on printing-out-paper resulting in minuscule differences among the prints. Each print was then toned in a gold chloride solution. Great care has been taken to produce prints that would have resembled closely those that one might have purchased while journeying through Egypt in the nineteenth century" p. vi. Images include ruins of ancient monuments details of carved and painted temple walls fleets of feluccas palm groves and formal salon poses and ethnographic portraits of Egyptians and Nubians.

19033864Egypt: various dates 1903. Various sizes. Twenty-nine printed menus with specific offerings printed or in manuscript. On various papers some with chromolithograph illustrations; some with embossed debossed or die-cut elements; some with edges beveled and gilt. Texts in Arabic French German and English.

The collection includes menus from Palais Ismaïlia; Palais D’Abdine; Savoy Hotel Cairo; Ziftah Barrage; Hotel Angst; Unter den Belten bei den Chalifen-Gräbern Kairo under the straights at the Khalifa Tombs Cairo; and Ghésireh Palace Hotel. ~ Four of the menus are from the Palais D'Abdine in November and December of 1902 and bear the coat of arms of Abbas Helmi II Khedive of Egypt the last to serve as King of Egypt before being deposed by the British in 1914. One of these menus is labeled for S.E. El-Lewn F.

A second menu from this group is labeled in Arabic which we have been unable to translate. Additionally two menus hail from the Palais Ismaila and record dinners on consecutive evenings March 3 and March 4 1903. Each of bears the hand-lettered names of the guests: Moustapha Fehmi Pasha who had served as 7th Prime Minster of Egypt; and Hr. Van der Does de Villebois the Dutch Consul General later posted to Constantinople. Perhaps some light soiling or a bumped corner to a few menus otherwise condition throughout is very good. various dates unknown
