Roberts set sail for Egypt on 31 August 1838 a few years after Owen Jones. His intent was to produce drawings that he could later use as the basis for the paintings and lithographs to sell to the public. Egypt was much in vogue at this time and travellers collectors and lovers of antiquities were keen to buy works inspired by the East or depicting the great monuments of ancient Egypt. Roberts made a long tour in Egypt Nubia the Sinai the Holy Land Jordan and Lebanon. Throughout he produced a vast collection of drawings and watercolour sketches. On his return to Britain Roberts worked with lithographer Louis Haghe from 1842 to 1849 to produce these lavishly illustrated plates. He funded the work through advance subscriptions which he solicited directly. The scenery and monuments of Egypt and Holy Land were fashionable but had hitherto been hardly touched by British artists and so Roberts quickly accumulated 400 subscription commitments with Queen Victoria being subscriber No. 1.

réf. 25889Undated but on Britannia paper watermarked 1805; and the San Ysidro was a prison ship at Plymouth between May 1805 and September 1814. Napoleon’s Egyptian Campaign 1798-1801 inspired a period of ‘Egyptomania’ culminating in Champollion’s decipherment of the Rossetta Stone. The contribution of the author of this letter to this outpouring of scholarly activity is an offer to the President of the Society of Antiquaries of London to blow up one of the pyramids in order to extract their contents. See the recipient’s entry in the Oxford DNB. 3pp 8vo. Bifolium of laid Britannia paper watermarked 1805. Fifty-five lines well laid out and written in a neat and stylish hand. In fair condition somewhat grubby and warn folded into a packet. Addressed to ‘The Right Honorable the Earl of Leicester. / F.R.S. / President of the Society of Antiquaries / London.’ Signed: ‘Wm. Lydiard - / Master’s Mate of HM Prison Ship San Ysidro / Plymo’ Dock’. The text begins: ‘. excess of servility and drudgery to which they were driven even to the making of Brick and other debasing services; some writers have from thence inferred that the Pyramids being of stone is a proof that they were not founded by them no work of that kind being recorded: but is it not recorded that they built Treasure Cities’ He proceeds to discuss whether as ‘Some authors affirm’ the pyramids are ‘the Tombs of Kings’. He states that he was ‘a few days since’ ‘furnished with the official account of the capture of Alexandria’ The French garrison at Alexandria had surrendered to the British on 2 September 1801. and that ‘it immediately struck me with a desire of troubling you on this subject with the view of observing to you that if it is the intention of government to follow up their success in that quarter; whether this may not afford a good opportunity for opening one or two of these mysterious piles’ Warming to his theme he continues: ‘it surely can be done - gunpowder has a speedy effect in operations of this nature - the trouble might not be small but I certainly would not hesitate to undertake the performance of it neither can I imagine I would take any very considerable time or expense to execute it.’ After this surprising offer he goes some way to redeeming himself by stating: ‘There may be some valuable remains of antiquity deposited in those closed which may materially tend to the illustration of the ancient history manners or customs of the Egyptians’. He ends with reference to ‘sacred Scripture’ and the ‘plundering of the Temple by Shishak’.

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.

1875réf. ABC_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.

1927réf. 208311927. Photo album documenting a multi country group यातà¥à¤°à¤¾ in 1927 records interwar travel across southern Europe and the eastern Mediterranean including regions under colonial administration and recent political transition. The album follows a group of travelers moving from France through Italy Greece Turkey British administered Palestine and Egypt capturing urban landmarks archaeological sites and local populations encountered along the route. The sequence provides visual evidence of tourism infrastructure mobility and cross cultural observation during a period when former imperial territories such as Constantinople were undergoing redefinition following the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire and the establishment of modern nation states. Album contains 93 black and white silver gelatin photographs and four real photo postcards with images ranging approximately from 2.5 x 4 inches to 3.5 x 5.5 inches and one larger group photograph measuring about 9 x 7 inches. Photographs are mounted on black paper boards with handwritten captions in white pencil and interleaved tissue guards; string bound in patterned cloth boards. The album opens in Avignon with views of St. Pierre's Church and the Palais des Papes then continues through Italy with scenes of Naples and Pompeii as well as shipboard images captioned S.S. Adriatic. Subsequent sections include Athens with views of the Parthenon followed by Constantinople where four postcards depict the harbor the Sultan Ahmed Mosque and the Hagia Sophia shortly after the end of the Ottoman Empire. In British Mandate Palestine images show street scenes in Nazareth and Jerusalem including sites along the River Jordan the Western Wall and the Garden of Gethsemane alongside a captioned portrait labeled "A Jewish Maiden." The album concludes in Egypt with extensive views of archaeological and urban sites at Thebes Memphis Cairo and Luxor including the Obelisk of Hatshepsut Edfu Temple the tomb of Amenhotep II the Colossi of Memnon and the pyramids and Great Sphinx at Giza where the final group portrait shows the travelers posed on camels. Produced during the interwar period the album reflects expanding international tourism networks alongside ongoing European influence in the eastern Mediterranean and Middle East. The juxtaposition of ancient sites modern transport and local populations situates the material within broader histories of archaeology empire and travel culture in the early twentieth century. Light general wear to album and mounts; images well preserved with clear captions; overall very good condition. unknown
