Show morePhotograph album collecting views of Sinai taken by Sergeant James McDonald, photographer and member of the Royal Engineers. He was part to the 1868-169 scientific expedition lead of Charles Wilson (1836-1905), appointed by the Ordnance Survey (OS) - the national mapping agency for Great Britain. James McDonald had taken an important series of architectural studies of Jerusalem in 1864, as part of an earlier Ordnance Survey expedition. During the expedition to Sinai, McDonald produced at least 264 listed photographs, although only 153 were published in the three volumes of the official account of the survey. The additional photographs not included in these volumes could be purchased separately at the Ordnance Survey Office in Southampton. In addition to his known landscapes, McDonald made a number of portraits and type studies of Bedouins and inhabitants of St. Catherine Convent in Sinai.
