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

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
2001réf. 18768Oxford University Press. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. Hardcover. Very faint spotting to top of textblock else book is fine. Dustjacket is protected in plastic sleeve.; Archaic Naukratis was a busy trading place in the Western Delta of the Nile renowned for its sanctuaries and courtesans granting the Greeks access to Egyptian grain and luxury items. Now more than one hundred years after the discovery and excavation of Naukratis the author offers the first full-length analysis of the archaeology and archaic history of this important site. Although Naukratis always features in modern accounts of ancient Greek colonization it was not a place where the Greeks could freely establish their own political and social organization--it was under the strict control of the Egyptian pharaoh and his officials. To understand the special status of Naukratis the author takes the port of trade model surveying the political social and economic background of both Late Period Egypt and archaic Greece. A major section of the book comprises an archaeological re-evaluation of the topography of archaic Naukratis and its material finds. The sanctuaries archaic pottery styles terracottas faiences statuettes and other small finds are examined in the light of recent scholarship and an in-depth study of the literary evidence is brought to bear on the archaeological material. This book comprises a significant contribution to our understanding of Graeco-Egyptian relations during the seventh and sixth centuries BC and also demonstrates that Polanyian economic theory can play an invaluable rôle in the ongoing debate about the concepts best employed to analyse the ancient Greek economy.; Oxford Monographs on Classical Archaeology; 328 pages . 2001. 0198152841 .
