Sobre este artículo
Cairo, Egypt,: 1894., 1894. 2 volumes. [23; 19] ff. 160 original photographs [vol. I]; 120 original photographs [vol. II]. Each photo measures 4.5 x 35 inches; many photos are faded, whereas others are strong, a couple of photos were defaced with ink doodles. Original full brown morocco, with tooling, with the title "SNAPSHOTS EGYPT 1894 – VOL. I [& II]". Very good condition. 280 PHOTOGRAPHS RECORDING A VISIT TO EGYPT IN 1894: Each photograph is carefully labeled and annotated in ink, English. The album records photographically the touring holiday in Egypt, from arrival to departure, of an unnamed older man husband and two women (related?) who record scenes, from Alexandria, to the monuments in Gizeh, Beni-Hasan, Luxor, Karnak, Thebes, Kom Ombo, Assuan, Shellal, Mahadah, Philae, Wadi-Halfa, and Abu-Sir. / The photographs are all the same size (4.5x3.5 inches), with four pictures mounted per page. Many of the photographs have faded over time and many are well preserved. The strength of the album are the numerous images taken of the Egyptian peoples encountered in their journey, including some of their guides and guards. There are a total of 280 mounted photographs, by far the greater number are carefully annotated with inscriptions, sometimes rather candidly. Approximately three photographs are defaced with child-like doodles. This is a rich resource of original, unique photographs all taken during the three-some's 1894 journey [from England] to Egypt. The names of the tourists (an older bearded man, 2 ladies – seem to be related) is never mentioned. [A list of the photo titles is also available].
