1885réf. 139691885. Beato Antonio. Two photographs of a Ramesses statue and monumental Egyptian architecture circa 1880s document the archaeological landscape of Upper Egypt during the expansion of commercial photography and European travel along the Nile. The images preserve the scale surface condition and immediate surroundings of ancient remains as they appeared before many subsequent excavation conservation and tourism projects altered their presentation. Their attribution to Beato connects them to a photographer who maintained a long career in Luxor and produced albumen views of Egyptian monuments for an international market supporting research into the visual reception of ancient Egypt archaeological tourism nineteenth-century photographic commerce and the documentation of historic sites. Museum collections date comparable Beato photographs of Luxor and Egyptian monuments to the 1870s and later nineteenth century. Two albumen photographs circa 1880s each measuring approximately 8½ × 10 inches and mounted recto and verso on a single 10 × 10 inch board. One photograph shows a monumental statue identified as Ramesses and bears the ink signature "A. Beato" on the image. The second presents a large Egyptian monument from a different viewpoint and appears to carry the signature "A. Beato" within the negative. The absence of more specific captions prevents a secure identification of the second structure from the available description. The paired mounting brings together two examples of Beato's emphasis on isolated architectural remains and monumental scale using the albumen process to render carved stone structural mass and the surrounding archaeological terrain with clarity. Antonio Beato worked extensively in Egypt and became particularly associated with photographic views of Luxor Karnak and nearby ancient sites; surviving institutional holdings include his photographs of Luxor Temple Karnak and the Ramesseum. Earlier scholarship sometimes confused Antonio with his brother Felice because photographs circulated under overlapping forms of the Beato name but the Egyptian subjects and "A. Beato" signatures here support attribution to Antonio whose career centered on Egypt. The mount has cockling and a bent upper corner not affecting either image; both photographs have scattered surface scratches. Photographs good mount fair. The recto-and-verso presentation offers two complementary records of ancient Egyptian monuments as they were encountered and marketed through late nineteenth-century Nile photography. unknown books

1885réf. 140491885. Zangaki Adelphoi. Interior of the hypostyle hall at the Temple of Hathor at Dendera circa 1880s records one of Upper Egypt's major surviving temple interiors during the period when commercial photographers produced extensive visual records of Egyptian antiquities for an international audience. The Zangaki studio active in Egypt during the later nineteenth century specialized in views of archaeological sites cities landscapes and life along the Nile. This image preserves the appearance of Dendera's monumental columned interior during the same decade in which British occupation of Egypt began in 1882 and European archaeological and photographic activity in the country continued to expand. Albumen photograph circa 1880s measuring 11 x 8 inches. The view looks through the hypostyle hall of the Temple of Hathor where massive columns rise to capitals carved with the face of Hathor. Sunlight striking the columns and upper masonry emphasizes their scale while the central perspective terminates in a small doorway opening onto a darker interior containing visible rubble. The contrast between the monumental columns and the human scale of the distant doorway gives the photograph a particularly clear record of the hall's architecture and spatial arrangement. Dendera was among the Egyptian sites repeatedly photographed by commercial studios during the nineteenth century when photographs of temples and ancient monuments circulated through the developing European and American market for archaeological and travel imagery. The period also coincided with increasing European political and financial intervention in Egypt and after 1882 British military occupation; these developments formed part of the larger colonial setting in which antiquities excavated objects and photographic records circulated abroad. Small tear near the top margin; otherwise exceptionally well preserved with the architectural details and tonal contrasts remaining clear. Overall near fine condition. unknown books
1896réf. 144071896. Underwood & Underwood. Seven stereoviews of Egypt circa 1896 to 1904 record Egyptian people animals commerce Nile water gathering and ancient monuments within the American publisher's extensive photographic survey of the country. The group ranges from women drawing water from the Nile and a crowded market to the obelisk at Heliopolis and statues of Ramesses II pairing contemporary Egyptian life with the Pharaonic sites that figured prominently in Western photographic representations of Egypt. Underwood & Underwood's larger Egypt through the Stereoscope series comprised approximately 100 views produced principally between 1896 and 1904 intended to create a sequential three-dimensional photographic tour of the country. Seven original Underwood & Underwood stereoview photographs Egypt circa 1896 to 1904. Each card bears descriptive text on the verso. The subjects comprise: 1 the obelisk at Heliopolis; 2 a group of Egyptian women drawing water from the Nile; 3 an Egyptian drummer mounted on a camel with palm trees behind him; 4 a mother camel and recently born calf with the pyramids of Giza visible in the background; 5 villagers seated outside a tent captioned by the publisher "Wretchedness of the People"; 6 a large crowd gathered at a local market; and 7 statues of Ramesses II surrounded by palm trees. The views move between archaeological monuments and scenes of work transportation trade domestic life and the Nile while the stereoscopic format was designed to give viewers an illusion of spatial depth when seen through a stereoscope. Underwood & Underwood marketed stereoscopic tours as a means for audiences abroad to encounter distant countries through paired photographs and accompanying explanatory text. Institutional holdings confirm that its Egypt through the Stereoscope photographs date principally from 1896 to 1904 and encompass monuments landscapes city views people and animals. The publisher's caption "Wretchedness of the People" is particularly revealing as historical evidence of the interpretive framework imposed upon Egyptian subjects for Western consumers: rather than a neutral identification of the people pictured the wording directs the viewer toward a judgment about their material circumstances. The seven cards therefore preserve both photographic evidence of Egypt around the turn of the twentieth century and the captions through which Underwood & Underwood presented the country to its international audience. Each photograph retains descriptive text on the verso; all are in very good condition. unknown books

1903réf. 3864Egypt: 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. An unusual group of Egyptian menus from a moment when the British Germans and Austro-Hungarians were jockeying for Power in the region and the last of the Khedive rulers was in power. 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. Thurneyssen Pacha ecuyer riding instructor to the King and one of many Austro-Hungarians close the Khedive court much to the consternation of the British. A second menu from this group is labeled in Arabic which we have been unable to translate.

Each of bears the hand-lettered names of the guests: Moustapha Fehmi Pasha who had served as 7th Prime Minster of Egypt; and Hr.
