(170 x 123 mm) Exceedingly rare photo-album documenting the Danish vessel Tordenskjold?s mission in laying the very first telegraph cables in East Asia thereby connecting China and Japan to the global telegraph system. The album consists of photos taken aboard the vessel Tordenskjold, of Tordenskjold itself along with its crew, by an unknown photographer, and of photographs of the visited cities and surrounding areas by some of the finest photographers operating in East Asia at the time, such as John Thomson, William Floyd, Felice Beato and, in Egypt, Hippolyte Arnoux - all photographs presumably brought home by William Lund, Captain on board Tordenskjold. Through some of the earliest photos taken in China, Japan, and of the excavation of the Suez Canal, the present album depicts a pivotal moment in international relations and communications. Submarine telegraph cables were first brought to China by Danish magnate Carl Fredrick Tietgen (1829-1901), who in 1870 set up the Great Northern China and Japan Extension Company. The company was created to build and operate a telegraph cable connecting Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Japan, continuing on to Vladivostok on Russia's East coast. From Vladivostok, a cable ran along the Trans-Siberian Railway, linking Hong Kong to telegraph networks in Britain, Europe, and America. Tietgen fought off strong competition - primarily English-, and eventually won the concession to lay and operate new telegraph cables connecting Russia, China and Japan. Tietgen and his partners had embarked upon a grand and risky project. Undersea cables would need to be laid in waters that had not been sounded, cables were to be brought ashore on coasts where the prevailing conditions were not known, and it was.

Most photos slightly waved, minor creases or tears on extremities, several with remnants of old mounts on verso, one with two holes in the left upper corner, one with old repairs with tape on the margins, a few photos mildly faded, but overall a very good collection of interesting photos. Historically significant, extensive collection of seventy-five original albumen photos of Egypt and its people, taken by several prominent studios of the second half of the 19th century. The largest image is an early view of the Kiosk of Trajan (part of the Temple of Isis) on the island of Philae, looking north, with the Nile bank and a docked dahabiya on the right. Six early photos by Francis Frith (dating back to ca. 1857-1558), mounted on period album leaves, include three views of Cairo (a distant view of the Citadel and Muhammad Ali mosque taken from the Mokattam Hills, madrasa and mosque of Sultan Qaytbay, a street in the Old Cairo area), and three of the Near East - Baalbek temple complex (columns of the temple of Jupiter with the temple of Bacchus in the back), the north shore of the Dead Sea and Mount Horeb, Sinai. Over a dozen views of Cairo (including two early images by Wilhelm Hammerschidt) show the city with the Delta Barrage in the background, Citadel and Muhammad Ali mosque, Necropolis with the Citadel in the background, lion sculptures at the entrance to Qasr el Nil/El Gezira bridge, opening of the El-Gezira bridge for the water traffic, Gezira Palace, Ablution Fountain in the courtyard of Muhammad Ali mosque, interior of Sultan Barquq mosque, a street in old Cairo, garden in the courtyard of a hotel in Helwan, "village Com-el-Assuit," &c.

An early interesting photo depicts a street in Alexandria with trees on both sides and Pompey's Pillar in the background. Nine photos of the Pyramids of Giza include general and close-up views of the Pyramids and the Sphinx, featuring Arab villages, Nile channels, camel riders, a traveller in a horse-drawn cart, palm groves, Arab guides atop the Sphinx, &c. Fifteen views of the Suez Canal by Zangaki Brothers show Port Said (general views, Suez Canal Company's office, the Quay, the Lighthouse, Palais Hollandaise, Rue du Commerce, Eastern Exchange Hotel - including a rare photo when the terraces were not closed off with glass windows), Suez (new quay on reclaimed land/ "quai de terre plein", Port Tewfik), and several photos of steamers passing through the canal. There are also several portraits of Egyptians and Middle Eastern people ("Chech Arabe," a man wearing a turban, women wearing elaborate costumes, smoking "le nargile" (hookah), a boy with donkey, an adolescent girl, "Fille de Prince du Mt. Liban"), views of the fallen colossal statue of Ramses II near the ruins of Memphis in Bedrechen/Badrashim, an Arab village on the Nile, &c. Six smallest photos, evidently made to be sold as cartes-de-visite (but not yet mounted on card, which is a rare example), show the Pyramids of Giza, the Great Pyramid, Cairo Citadel and Muhammad Ali Mosque, dredges working on the excavation of the Suez Canal, and two portraits of Egyptian women with closed faces. Overall, an interesting, extensive collection of early original studio albumen photos of Egypt and its people in the second half of the 19th century.

Collection of 12 vintage photographs from the late 19th century showing China, Indonesia, the Hawaiian Islands, California and Egypt. Of the 4 photographs of China, 2 show Hong Kong, including one, possibly by the famous Chinese photographer Lai Fong (ca. 1839-1890), showing Queen's Road Central. The two rarest photographs show several of the 7500 imperial examination cubicles in Canton (Guangzhou), while a photograph by A Chan (Ya Zhen) shows the famous five-story pagoda on Kun Yam Hill in 1870. The Indonesian island Java can be seen on 3 photographs, including one of lake Telaga Warna by the British firm Woodbury & Page, based in Batavia (Jakarta). Taken further to the west, were 3 photographs of Hawaii, probably all taken in or near Honolulu. A rare undated photograph of the statue of King Kamehameha was taken probably right after the unveiling ceremony in 1883, as it shows a small wooden fence around the statue which can be seen in an illustration in The Graphic (28 April 1883) but is absent from all later images. Of the 2 final images, one by Isaiah West Taber (1830-1912) shows Midway Point in Monterey, California and the other, by Hippolyte Arnoux (fl. 1860-1890), a group of Arabs and camels waiting for the ferry near El Qantara in Egypt. Most of the photographs are worn at the edges, with small tears and folds and a few have small holes; one of the images of Hawaii with a waterstain at the lower margin. With 12 albumen prints, ranging in size from ca. 16.5 x 23 cm to 21 x 28 cm.

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.

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.
