A collection of 59 original album prints (c.21 x 28 cm.) in black & white except for one in colour, most titled and signed in the negative, each laid onto thicker card (27 x 35 cm.), the ensemble housed in a contemporary portfolio of blue pebbled cloth with red morocco title-label to upper cover ("Syrie-Égypte"), marbled endpapers, and original green ties. Additional manuscript captions in French to some prints. Some occasional light fading, one print with scattered spotting to card only, generally a wonderfully preserved collection of photographs handsomely presented in a contemporary portfolio. An impressive collection of albumen prints of the Middle East by Bonfils, Beato, and Langaki. The majority are of Egypt and include a selection of ancient Egyptian monuments and scenes from contemporary life. In addition there are photographs of Syria and Lebanon. The photos depict a wide variety of subjects, including exterior and interior views of Mosques, portraits, antiquities, views, etc. etc.

9 albumen prints (approx. 340 x 260 mm), each mounted on backing cardboard (ca. 400 x 330 mm). Three edges gilt. A fine set of nine albumen images of Egyptian sights and views, including Karnak, ships on the Nile, the Aswan cataract, the Temple of Edfu, murals at the Sanctuary at Karnak, camel drivers on the Sinai, etc. Pascal Sébah (1823-86), a leading photographer of the Middle East, was renowned for his well-judged compositions and for the excellent print quality achieved by his technician A. Laroche. His studio, founded in 1857, was continued under his brother Cosimo and his son Jean. A single image in this series is not by Sebah: a view of the island of Philae (near the First Cataract of the Nile) is signed "A. Beato" in a shaded portion of the image, identifiying this as the work of Antonio (Antoine) Beato (after 1832-1906), a British and Italian photographer noted for his genre works, portraits, views of the architecture and landscapes of Egypt and the other locations in the Mediterranean region. - Slight fading; well preserved.

Condition: Good. Large albumen-silver photograph on paper, 367 x 267 mm. Signed in plate. Lightly toned to sepia. Unmounted, a bit crinkled at the edges. Depicts a fellah in traditional dress and three camels before the columns at Luxor.

Albumen print; very good tonal range and in good condition, closed tear to left hand edge and 2 small closed tears to lower edge repaired; titled and numbered 547 on reverse in pencil; signed in negative 'A. Beato'. Beato photographs two Egyptians in front of the columns of the western side of the colonnade, from the courtyard in front of the hypostyle hall, giving sense of the monumental scale of the architecture. Built during the Ptolemaic Kingdom with sites including Dendera and Philae, the Temple at Edfu was preserved nearly intact due to being nearly completely buried by 12 meters of desert sand and Nile silt. The work to uncover the temple was started by the French Egyptologist Auguste Mariette in 1860, and it remains a major visitor site in Egypt. Antonio Beato (1832-1906) was one of Egypt's most prolific photographers. Unlike his brother Felice Beato who travelled widely, Antonio remained in Egypt for most of his professional life.

Built during the New Kingdom by Ramesses III on the site of an earlier temple, the Temple of Khonsu, is located within the Precinct of Amun-Re at Karnak. Ptolemy III built the pylon (gateway) seen in this albumen print at the end of an avenue of rams-head sphinxes which run to the Temple of Luxor. Antonio Beato (1832-1906) was one of Egypt's most prolific photographers. Unlike his brother Felice Beato who travelled widely, Antonio remained in Egypt for most of his professional life.

Egypt, ca. 1870ies. Folio-oblong (365 x 280 mm). 146 albumen prints mounted verso and recto on 73 ff. Bound in contemporary half cloth. With traces of paper-label to inner margin of front board. Label of the stationery shop "Maison Martinet, Albert Hautecoeur, bd des Capucines, 12, Paris" pasted on to upper outer corner of pasted down front end-paper. Paper creased and some leaves symetrically perforated, not affecting photos. Two photos with tears and a few photos partly detached from paper. Some photos are slightly discoloured and toned but are in general in good condition. Extraordinary collection containing 146 albumen prints depicting landscapes and animated scenes of Egypt including some of the very earliest photographs of the newly opened Suez Canal. The photographs also document a period in Egyptian history, where the country began to gain independence and autonomy from Ottoman rule" Constantinople had granted Egypt the status of an autonomous vassal state or Khedivate in 1867, and completion of the Suez Canal gave Britain a faster route to India which in turn made Egypt increasingly reliant on Britain for both military and economic aid. Most photos are signed by the greatest local photographers of the time: the Zangaki brothers, Bonfils, Arnoux, Beato, Fiorillo, Béchard and Sébah. Active in the second half of the 19th century, these photographers of diverse origins such as French, Italian, British, Ottoman and Greek all established a studio or a branch in Egypt, in Alexandria, Port Said and Cairo. The Suez Canal was one of the most ambitious engineering projects of the 19th century. It was designed to create a waterway between the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea, linking Europe and Asia and providing a faster and more efficient route for shipping goods between the two continents. Construction of the canal began in 1859 and took over ten years to complete. Hippolyte Arnoux is best known for his remarkable photographs of the Suez Canal in Egypt. Arnoux's photographs of the Suez Canal were groundbreaking in their time and remain an important documentation of the construction of one of the world's most significant engineering endeavors. He was hired by the French government to document the construction of the canal, and he spent several years in Egypt taking photographs of it. He used a large-format camera, which allowed him to capture incredible detail and clarity in his images. Arnoux's photographs of the Suez Canal were not only important documents of the construction of the canal, but they also played an important role in the popular imagination of the time. They helped to promote the idea of progress and modernity, as well as the importance of colonialism and European expansion in the world. Zangaki's portrait photography also received much acclaim. His portraits were known for their ability to capture the essence of his subjects, conveying their personality, character, and emotions, and his portraiture work also demonstrated his mastery of lighting, composition, and posing.Zangaki's landscape photography is another notable aspect of his work. He and his brother captured breathtaking images of Egypt's natural landscapes, such as the Nile River, the desert, and the countryside. Their images were notable for their use of contrast, shadows, and light, creating a unique atmosphere that evoked the beauty and mystery of Egypt's landscapes. Their work contributed significantly to the early days of Egyptology, as it allowed European scholars and archaeologists that were not in a position to travel to examine the monuments and artifacts. The present collection forms a fine testament to one the most interesting periods in modern Egyptian history and to the cradle of Egyptian photography.

Oblong folio (510 x 385 mm). 25 albumen prints (ca. 260 x 370 mm), loosely mounted on grey leaves, each captioned in French. Green half morocco. Early, uncommonly well-preserved album of photographs showing the monuments of Egypt. Having arrived in Egypt as early as 1859, Antonio Beato (1835-1906) was among the first commercial photographers to make their way to the Middle East in order to capitalise on the increasing demand for souvenir photographs. Beato's images of Egypt were distinctly different from those of other photographers working in the region (cf. Hannavy). - Binding a little rubbed. Most of the photos signed in the negative, showing fresh and crisp contrast. - Hannavy, J. (ed), Encyclopedia of Nineteenth-Century Photography (Routledge, 2013), pp. 127f.

2 photographs of Ramesis Statue,and Large Monument,.Printed Circa 1880s , on 2 large albumen prints. 8-1/2"x10" mounted on recto and verso of one 10"x10" board. First image is signed on photograph in ink "A. Beato." Second image appears to have been signed in negative "A. Beato" Cockling to mount, some surface scratching on both photographs. Upper corner of mount bent, not affecting any image. Because of the existence of a number of photographs signed "Felice Antonio Beato" and "Felice A. Beato", it was long assumed that there was one photographer who somehow managed to photograph at the same time in places as distant as Egypt and Japan. But in 1983 it was shown by Italo Zannier (Bennett 1996, 38) that "Felice Antonio Beato" represented two brothers, Felice Beato and Antonio Beato, who sometimes worked together, sharing a signature. The confusion arising from the signatures continues to cause problems in identifying which of the two photographers was the creator of a given image. Antonio Beato went to Cairo in 1860 where he spent two years before moving to Luxor where he opened a photographic studio in 1862 and began producing tourist images of the people and architectural sites of the area. In the late 1860s, Beato was in partnership with Hippolyte Arnoux. Signed.
