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.

A FINE COLLECTION OF PHOTOGRAPHS OF EGYPT including street scenes landscapes architecture photographs of mosques and tombs of the pyramids and ancient monuments and of people gathered in groups in Cairo and of Bedouin Arabs in gatherings and alone. Maison Bonfils was a French family-run company producing and selling photography and photographic products from Beirut then in Ottoman Syria now in Lebanon from 1867 until 1918 from 1878 on renamed "F. Bonfils et Cie". The Bonfils ran the first and in their time most successful photographic studio in the city. Maison Bonfils produced studio portraits staged biblical scenes landscapes and panoramic photographs. FÃ©lix Bonfils a French photographer married Marie-Lydie Cabanis in 1857. The couple together with their son Adrien moved to Beirut in 1867 where they opened a photographic studio called "Maison Bonfils" on what later became rue Georges-Picot. Maison Bonfils produced thousands of photographs of the Middle East. Bonfils worked with both his wife and his son. They photographed landscapes portraits scenes with subjects dressed in Middle Eastern regalia and also stories from the Bible. FÃ©lix Bonfils took photographs in Ottoman Syria in today's Lebanon Syria Israel & Palestine the Khedivate of Egypt Greece and Constantinople producing the vast majority of his work while his wife and son were also involved in photography produced by the studio. As few are signed it is difficult to identify who is responsible for individual photographs. Lydie is thought to have taken some of the studio portraits especially those of Middle Eastern women who were more inclined to pose for a female photographer. In 1876 FÃ©lix returned to AlÄs to have compiled collections of their photographs published. In 1878 when the name of the studio was changed to "F. Bonfils et Cie" Adrien was back in Beirut after completing his studies in France and took more responsibility for photography including landscape. FÃ©lix again travelled to AlÄs to establish a collotype printing factory in 1880 and died there in 1885. Probably Maison Bonfils hardcover

PHILAE Showing the Temple of Isis Being an Original Hand-Coloured Lithograph From THE HOLY LAND SYRIA IDUMEA ARABIA EGYPT AND NUBIA

184626627London: F.G. Moon and Co. 1846. From the Standard Folio First Edition limited to 500 sets only. A single original hand-coloured lithographic plate drawn on stone by Louis Haghe after David Roberts' paintings done on location in 1838. Printed on a half folio sheet 17" x 13.5" the captioned image is 13.75" x 10" now presented in cream mounting boards 21" x 17" glazed behind clear mylar. Beautifully hand-coloured to the highest standards of the time. An example in excellent condition clean fresh beautifully preserved. FROM One of the most desirable of all travel and COLOURplate books. A very beautiful image of the Temple of Isis on the Island of Philae looking down the Nile. Philae was accounted to be one of the burying-places of Osiris and was held in high reverence both by the Egyptians to the north and the Nubians to the south. It was deemed profane for any but priests to dwell there and was accordingly sequestered and denominated "the Unapproachable." This is a view now un-viewable to modern eyes. Due to decades of constant flooding of Philae after the construction of the Aswan Low Dam every building was dismantled into about 40000 units and then transported to higher ground on the nearby island of Agilkia. The project was completed in time for the 1970 construction of the the Aswan High Dam. We have a good number of impressive images from the Standard Folio Edition of this classic work available for purchase. As well as many views of Egypt we also have available views of Nubia Petra Sinai the Jordan Tyre Sidon and Baalbec. Please inquire for further details. In the course of two and a half months in 1838 traveling some 800 miles south from Cairo Roberts recorded the monumental temple sites along the Nile in more than a hundred sketches. As the first British artist to sketch the monuments of Ancient Egypt set on "Plains so vast.that until you come near them you have no idea of their magnificence" Roberts was well aware of the stir his drawings would create in London. According to John Ruskin writing in PRAETERITA Roberts's drawings "were the first studies ever made conscientiously by an English painter not to exhibit his own skill but to give true portraiture of scenes of historical and religious interest.
