Description

Notes: After the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869, a lucrative market developed for photographs of Egyptian antiquities and the Canal. These were sold to travellers on ships passing through the Canal and to collectors world wide. This image is from a presentation album dated 1880. There is a faded inscription, lower right, but apparently no photographer's name.

Two of the best known photographers of Egyptian scenes for the tourist trade were Felix Bonfils who opened a studio in Beirut in 1867, and the Zangaki brothers who worked out of Port Said and Cairo in the 1870s and 80s.

Bonfils occasionally worked with Hippolyte Arnoux (active ca. 1860 - ca. 1890) a French photographer and publisher who documented the excavation of the Suez Canal and published the resulting photographs as 'Album du Canal de Suez'.
