A propos de cet article

Folio album ca. 31,3x26,3 cm. 29 card stock leaves. With 30 albumen photographs from ca. 21,9x28 cm (8 ½ x 11 in) to ca. 10,6x16 cm (4 ¼ x 6 in), including one double-spread photo ca. 27,5x39 cm (10 ¾ x 15 in). All photos with captions (in English) on the mounts; ca. 19 photos with captions (mostly in French) in negatives. Most photos dated. Period green cloth binding with leather spine. Spine worn and rubbed, front board slightly loose, occasional browning throughout, but overall a very good album with strong, interesting photos. Historically interesting collection of thirty early large-size photos of mostly Egypt (at the time Ottoman Egypt), taken by the famous photographers Hippolyte Arnoux and Zangaki Brothers in the 1890s. The Zangaki Brothers (likely C. and G. Zangaki) were Greek photographers active in Ottoman Egypt from the 1860s to the 1890s. They specialized in images of ancient monuments and daily life for the tourist market and occasionally collaborated with the French photographer Hippolyte Arnoux in Port Said. Together with Arnoux, the brothers were among the earliest commercial photographers to produce large-scale images of late 19th-century Egypt. The album opens with three excellent photos of post-bombardment Alexandria, showing the general view of the city, the barracks of the South Staffordshire Regiment, the Mosque of El-Megrib, and the Grand Square. Twelve well-executed photographs of Cairo mostly portray panoramic views of the city, the Niles, and ancient cites (Cairo Citadel, Qasr El Nil bridge filled with locals, road to the Pyramids, the Sphynx, Arab cemetery). Especially interesting is a lively, candid urban scene, illustrating the annual Procession of the Holy Carpet. The photograph shows hundreds of locals in traditional attire lining the streets as a large ornate box with the carpet passes by. Another interesting double-spread group photo features officers from the former 80th Regiment of Foot (later the South Staffordshire Regiment), stationed in Cairo in 1895 to help maintain order. Photos of Myanmar include general view of Mandalay, Shwenandaw Monastery, and a full-length studio portrait of a Burmese girl in traditional costume. The collection also includes three excellent aerial views of Morocco, showing Tangier and its main street. The rest of the photographs primarily depict Gibraltar (bull fight at the newly-built La Línea de la Concepción Bullring), Naples (aerial views of the city, Grand Hotel, Caracciolo St.), and Pompeii (Ruins of Pompeii). As follows from the captions in negatives, most photos of Italy were taken by the pioneer Italian photographer Achille Mauri (ca. 1806-1895). Overall, historically interesting collection of early large-size photos of Egypt, Myanmar, Morocco, Gibraltar, and Italy taken by the pioneer photographs of the region.…
