1875ABC_46596Egypt 1875. A single oblong board 30 x 40 cm. Zangaki brothers 2 albumen photographic prints mounted on one board 1 on each side approx. 225 x 28 cm. 2 albumen photographic prints of a view of the Nile with pyramids in the background and the Al-Azhar mosque in Cairo by the Zangaki brothers "Adelphoi Zangaki" who were two photographers of Greek origin active in Egypt from ca. 1870 until the beginning of the 20th century. They can be grouped together with other commercial photographers who worked in Egypt during the second half of the 19th century. These photographers such as Félix Bonfils Gustave le Gray and others who were mostly of French origin were able to capitalise on the rising demand for photographic prints as souvenirs. Photographers like the Zangaki brothers often sold the albumen prints from their studios located in cities like Port Said Cairo and Suez but produced the actual photographs using the collodion process in a portable darkroom - a cart or sometimes even a boat - in the field.The brothers were quite prolific producing at least 1500 photographs of Egypt and other regions of the Middle East during the span of a few decades around the turn of the 20th century. Since these photographs were taken with the purpose of creating prints for tourists the subjects are often "quintessentially Egyptian" and sights such as the pyramids along the Nile river are captured. However they also provide a glimpse into Egyptian daily life or occasionally one can sneak a peek at one the photographers and their portable darkroom. Not much is known about the Zangaki brothers and until quite recently people thought that the photographic prints signed "Zangaki" were produced by one single person. With a tear in the lower margin not affecting the photographs some foxing remnants of white tape to one of the side margins of the board with a small blue ink mark below an inscription "Mosque of El Azhar." in the margin below the photograph of said mosque.

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.
