Aggiungi al carrelloFolio. 14 x 15.5 inches. 48 original mounted professional photographs, each a full-page image. Modern half red morocco, cloth. A piece of the original cloth cover, with the title in German as shown, is mounted within the volume. Fine. 48 fine vintage photographs, 23 of which are signed by the photograph (19 by the Zangaki Brothe…rs; 4 by Antoine Beoto). The images are taken in the southern Egyptian Luxor region, including images of the Valley of the Kings at Luxor temple, the Nile, Karnak temple, and Thebes. / The first photograph shows the Sphynx and in front are a couple (presumedly a husband & wife, perhaps German or Swiss-German), obviously tourists. This is their memory album of a visit to Luxor in southern Egypt, the place of the Valley of the Kings. The photographs, some of which are titled, are chiefly titled in French. Even though 23 of the photographs are signed, it is clear that the whole album is made up of images from these two photographers, meaning that 47 of the images should be either by the Zangaki Brothers or Antoine Beoto's studio. The only unique image should be the first one showing the two travelers and their guides.

Aggiungi al carrelloA large German album with 34 albumen prints of Egypt. The Greek brothers G. and C. Zangaki were photographers who worked in Egypt in the second half of the 19th century. Due to increased tourism to this region after the opening of the Suez Canal, there was a large demand for souvenir photographs. Photographers like the Zangaki b…rothers, as well as Sebah & Joallier, catered to this. The Zangakis were among the first commercial photographers to produce large-scale images of Egypt. They travelled through the country with a portable darkroom to capture high-quality images of famous monuments and daily life, though the latter were usually posed. These images were then printed and sold to tourists, either separately or compiled into albums. According to John Hannavy, the brothers "produced some of the finest images of late Victorian Egypt". The 34 photographs include: the great pyramid, Cairo and the Nile, dervishes and other exotic looking locals, Egyptians standing on top of the sphinx, obeliscs, the Ramesseum, Karnak temple, the temple of Dendera, the Great Pyramid, Egyptians climbing the pyramid, the mosque and tomb of Muhammad Ali, Saqqara and many others.With two small library stamps on the first page, not affecting the photograph. The book has been rebacked. The left side of the front board has faded and the corners are worn. Minor browning around the edges of the leaves. Back flyleaf loose. The photos are crisp and clear and the book is otherwise in good condition.l Erdem, Views of Egypt by Georgios and Constantinos Zangaki: Examining a late nineteenth-century photographic album at the Art Gallery of Ontario (thesis), 2006; Hannavy, Encyclopedia of Nineteenth Century Photography, pp. 1036, 1093 & 1521. Original gold-stamped bubble-grained maroon cloth over boards, modern maroon cloth spine and leather corners. Gold stamped title and year on the front, white watered silk endpapers. With 34 large albumen prints mounted on heavy cardstock leaves. Most of the photographs are numbered and captioned in French in the negative and signed 'Zangaki'. The last one is signed Sebah & Joallier. The Zangaki prints measure 22.5 x 28.5 cm; the Sebah & Joallier one is 20.5 x 26.5 cm. Pages: [36] ll.

Aggiungi al carrelloRemarkable collecton of photographs about Egypt, and in particular about the Egyptian oil industry. The first 17 photographs in the album date from the 1870s and 1880s, and were made by the famous Zangaki brothers, who were among the first commercial photograhers working in Egypt. The beautiful prints in the album show views of…Caïro, pyramids, and locals, which are the type of scenes the Zangaki's specialised in. The remaining photographs date from the 1910s and offer a unique view of the very beginnings of the Egyptian oil industry. They document the building of an oil refinery and storage, presumably near Ras Gemsah, where Egypt first began drilling for oil. An especially notable addition to the collection are the two folding panorama photographs, which give a good sense of the scale of these building projects. As we have not been able to find these photographs anywhere else, they may have been privately commisioned by the Egyptian oil industry and only given to those involved in it.The Anglo-Egyptian Oilfields Limited registered in London on 6 July 1911. The company was a joint operation of Royal Dutch Shell and British Petroleum with the objective of receiving concessions, developing, drilling, purifying, supplying, reserving, distributing and handling petroleum products.Ras Gemsah became a very important source of oil, and in 1911, the first oil refinery was established there, which is what the present photographs show. The refinery's first operations commenced in 1912 and it was considered the only origin for oil production for quite some time. On one of the photographs, the English, Egyptian and Dutch flags can be seen side by side. Since the album was bound by R. W. Rinck of the Hof- en Nederlandsche albumfabriek en hofboekbinderij, which was a prestigious bindery at the time, it may have been meant for an important Shell employee involved in the Ras Gemsah project.With the label of the bookbinder (R.W. Rinck, Den Haag) at the foot of the front pastedown. The corners and edges of the boards are somewhat scuffed. The edges of the leaves are discoloured, without affecting the photographs. Otherwise in good condition. Contemporary embossed brown cloth (made to imitate reptile skin), with the title blind-tooled on the front board, decorative paper endpapers. With 83 albumen prints, of which 2 folding panorama photographs, 17 signed and numbered in the negative by the Zangaki brothers, and 66 larger prints of the oil industry. Pages: [42], [8 blank] ll.

Aggiungi al carrelloInteresting photo album, probably compiled as a souvenir of a journey through the Holy Land, Egypt, Athens and Venice in the 1890s. Complete souvenir albums were sold by photographer's studios and dealers alike. However, the fact that the current album has several blank pages at the end, lacks a binding title and contains photog…raphs showing several different countries, suggests that it was compiled by an individual traveller. Among the photographs of Athens, is an image of the statue of Themis, excavated in 1890 in Rhamnous and subsequently transported to Athens. The inclusion of this photograph suggests the album was compiled in or soon after 1890.The largest part of the album contains photographs of Egypt and Jerusalem. After a view with numerous watermelons at the market of Jaffa, it shows views of Ramlah, Bethany (al-Azariya), Khan al-Ahmar ("scene of the 'good Samaritan' episode") and the convent Mar Saba. Before the views of Bethlehem on Christmas day, are two photographs showing local inhabitants: a single rider with his horse before the river Jordan and a Bedouin camp near Jericho. All the major sites of Jerusalem are present, including the Mount of Olives, Wailing Wall, Solomon's Stables and the Jaffa Gate with more watermelons. A misplaced image of the coppersmiths of Cairo appears before images of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. The images of Egypt mostly show the river Nile and the Pyramids, but also a busy market in the garden of Gezireh, the interior of the Mosque of Muhammad Ali and a mummy. Typical images of Athens and Venice follow, with the final image showing a gentleman and two ladies feeding the pigeons on the Piazza San Marco.With the captions of several of the photographs transcribed in pencil or ink. Binding worn at the extremities. Paperboard album leaves with a few spots and several tears, most of the header corners damaged and several repaired. Photographs in excellent condition, a few with some spots and light damage at the sides. Contemporary brown half morocco, buckram boards. Oblong album (41.5 x 31 cm) containing 62 albumen prints, mostly 23 x 28 cm, with 2 smaller prints of ca. 16 x 28 and 5 large prints of 35.5 x 27 cm. Most of the photographs are numbered and captioned on the negative in French, and sometimes also in English. Pages: [59], [11 blank] pp.

Titled, numbered 1134 and signed in the image and on the mount in ink From a collection of photographs of the Middle East by the Adelphoi Zangaki = Zangaki Brothers.Thebes (Ancient Greek: ?????, Th?bai), known to the ancient Egyptians as Waset, was a…n ancient Egyptian city located along the Nile about 800 kilometers (500 mi) south of the Mediterranean. Its ruins lie within the modern Egyptian city of LuxorLittle is known about the Zangaki brothers, except their initials, C. and G., and that they worked out of Port Said and Cairo from around the 1860s through to at least the 1890s.]Many of the Zangaki photographs are signed with a brother's initial and/or a place of business, e.g., "C. Zangaki" or "Zangaki, Cairo" or occasionally "A.Zangaki".Until relatively recently it was believed that "A.Zangaki" was a single photographer. However, with the discovery of a signboard with the name "Adelphoi Zangaki", it was recognised that these were brothers.Ibn al Haithan Many scholars also believe that their names were George and Constantinos (or Costas). Some scholars believe that they were born on the island of Milos, while others have suggested that they were Cypriot. However, no definitive evidence pertaining to their place and date of birth is extant. How they came to learn photography is also unclear. However, shortly after their arrival in Egypt they had become established photographers with a studios in Cairo and Port Said.By the 1850s, tourist travel to Egypt created strong demand for photographs as souvenirs. A small group of early photographers, mostly of French origin, made their way to Cairo and the Nile Valley to capitalise on this demand. These pioneering photographers included Félix Bonfils (1831-1885); Gustave Le Gray (1820-1884), brothers Henri and Emile Bechard (active 1860-1890); the British-Italian brothers Antonio Beato (c. 1832-1906) and Felice Beato (1832-1909) and Hippolyte Arnoux (active between 1860 and 1890).[6]Photographs taken by the Zangaki brothers are commonly found in tourists' albums assembled in the Middle East in the second half of the 19th-century. From their Port Said studio, they were ideally situated to sell to Europeans visiting Egypt as part of a Grand Tour The Zangaki brothers traveled along the Nile accompanied by a horse-drawn darkroom wagon to document the Egyptian scenery, architecture and events.

Aggiungi al carrelloCondizione: Very Good-. [Cairo]: Gabriel Lekegian and Zangaki Brothers, n.d., ca. 1880s. Large oblong folio (25x34cm.); original brown cloth album with binder's ticket of the Parisian establishment Anc. Mon. Martinet to front pastedown; [50]ll. thick blue card stock filled nearly to completion with eighty-six (86) albumen photog…raphs (mostly 20.5x27cm or the inverse) captioned in image. Album rather worn with spine mostly detached and frayed, corners bumped with some exposure, otherwise Good to Very Good, images all bright and fine. Substantial album of photographic portraits and views produced by two of the most prestigious studios operating in Cairo in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. The majority of the images (seventy-three in all) were produced by Gabriel Lekegian (ca. 1853-1920), an Armenian-born artist who first began his career in Constantinople as a water-colorist before setting up a professional photography studio shrewdly located across the street from the Shepherd's Hotel in Cairo's European District. (In fact the earliest image in this album is of the facade of the bustling Hotel). As well as producing images to quench the colonialist thirst of the tourist trade, Lekegian is today remembered for his modernist tendency to portray the everyday: the peasants, the workers, the women and children of Cairo. One researcher has written "His subjects were perhaps more multifarious and diverse than any other photographer working in Egypt at the time" (Armenian Photographer Foundation). The remaining thirteen images signed in image by the Zangaki Brothers, Greek Cypriots who, like Lekegian, discovered the fruits of the tourist photograph trade and opened their own studio in Cairo contemporaneously with their Armenian competitor, producing "some of the finest images of late Victorian Egypt" ("Encyclopedia of 19th Century Photography," p. 1521). The album is a valuable display piece of both quotidian Victorian Cairo and its ancient environs, capturing its most destitute inhabitants as well as the monuments that brought the European tourists in by droves. Recognizable landmarks pictured here include the Pyramids and the partially uncovered Sphinx, the Mosque of Mohammad Ali, the Khalifa Tombs, the Obelisks of Heliopolis, the bas reliefs of the Temple of Rameses, the Colossi of Memnon, Luxor Temple, and Karnak.

Aggiungi al carrello2 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 ph…otographers 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. Overall in good condition.l cf. Erdem, Views of Egypt by Georgios and Constantinos Zangaki [.] (2009); Hannavy, in: Encyclopedia of Nineteenth-Century Photography, p. 1521; Perez, Focus east, p. 233. 2 albumen photographic prints mounted on one board, 1 on each side (approx. 22,5 x 28 cm).

An interesting extensive collection of large albumen prints of Egypt taken by some of the most renowned early photographers of the region, including the Zangaki brothers, Pascal Sebah, Luigi Fiorillo, the Abdullah Freres, Antonio Beato, Hippolyte Arnoux, Gabriel Lekegian, and Maison Bonfils. The album contains ninety-four studio photographs, with about twenty excellent portraits of local settlers. The photos vividly portray Egyptian messengers, water carriers, porters, beggars, and guards, as well as Fellahin women in burqas carrying water jars or balancing vegetables on their heads. Especially interesting are several candid urban scenes showing wheat & date harvesting, a cargo of clay pots on the banks of the Nile, a camel caravan crossing the Suez Canal via a chain ferry, European travelers posing atop camels, etc. There's also a lively street scene on Sultan Hussein Quay in Port Said, with clearly visible locals, horse carts, and shop signs reading "The Eastern Telegraph Co.," "Henry's, King & Co.," "Thos. Cook & Son," and "Bank of Egypt Limited."

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.

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.

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.

Interesting collection of early original albumen and gelatin silver photographs of Egypt from the late 19th-early 20th century, taken by the prominent local studios of Zangaki Brothers, Pappa Peridis, and Luigi Fiorillo. Twenty-two photos by the studio of Zangaki Brothers show Cairo (Citadel and Muhammad Ali Mosque, Citadel and nearby Arab village, the Nile at Bulaq, a street view), Aswan (the Nile and railway tracks with various machinery), Pyramids of Giza (general views with Mena House hotel, the Nile and palm groves or a small dam, a close-up view of the Great Pyramid), Philae Temple (general views taken from the north, Temple of Hathor), Karnak Temple (Great Hypostyle Hall), the First Cataract at Aswan, three views of the "Olga" dahabiya boat on the Nile (Swedish flag is visible, two locations are captioned - the Elephantine Island and Aswan), &c. Two images by the Greek photographer Pappa Peridis depict the panoramic view of Cairo and the alley of destroyed sphinxes leading to the Pylon of Ptolemy III at the Karnak Temple. Other photographs include two views of the Philae Island and Temple - before and after it was flooded by the construction of the Aswan Low Dam in 1902 (the second image by Marquis & Fiorillo shows the scale of inundation by the raised level of the Nile), Cataract Hotel in Aswan (built in 1899) and a scene of an official celebration in a town on the river bank - most likely, Aswan (with visible flags of Great Britain and the Sultanate of Egypt). "The Zangaki brothers were born on the island of Milos. It is not known where they learned photography but soon after their arrival in Egypt, they became established photographers. The Greek brothers' photographs are very commonly found in tourists' albums assembled in the Middle East in the latter part of the 19th century. From their Port Said studio, they were in an ideal position to sell to those on the Grand Tour" (Jacobson, K. Odalisques & Arabesques: Orientalist Photography, 1839-1925. London, 2007, p. 277). Luigi Fiorillo worked in Alexandria in the 1870s-1890s. Pappa Peridis was active in Port Said and Cairo in the 1880s-1900s, being apparently associated with the Zangaki Brothers.

Spine worn and rubbed, front board slightly loose, occasional browning throughout, but overall a very good album with strong, interesting photos. 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.
