Show morePhotographs show two young water carriers and one blind beggar. Both these subjects were very common in Orientalism painting. Alexandre Brignoli was an Italian professional photographer active in Cairo between 1860 and 1870. His studio was based at the Hôtel du Commerce and his production almost exclusively consists of Orientalist portraits. His work seemed to be more aimed at artists than almost any other commercial work in the Middle East and North Africa.

In 1888 he published with A. Palmiere, a set of photogravures, “L'Égypte et la Nubie.” [...] Béchard had the photographic concession at the Cairo antiquities museum and produced the handsome Album du Musée Boulaq: Photographie par Délié et Béchard, avec texte explicatif par Auguste Marriette Bey (Cairo, 1872). The partnership was dissolved sometime after publication and both continued to work in Egypt as commercial photographers. Both received medals at the 1878 Paris Universal Exposition".

They were probably Greek Cypriots, although it has been suggested they may have come from Crete. Nothing is known of them before their first photographs were published in Egypt in the late 1870s, and even the names of the brothers themselves is unknown. It has been suggested their initials were C and G, and indeed early 20th century photographic postcards bearing the name C Zangaki have been located. Their photographs, however, were simply identified as Zangaki, the letter Z being frequently mistaken for a stylized L in several books, resulting in their work being incorrectly ascribed to Langaki. Indeed, until relatively recently, there was assumed to be one photographer with the name of A Zangaki until the discovery of a signboard bearing the legend Adelphoi Zangaki confirmed that the images were the work of brothers. While their GreekCypriot or Cretanroots are confirmed, the horse-drawn darkroom van with which they toured the length of the Nile bore the legend Zangaki Brothers, and to further confuse matters, the majority of their images are titled (in the negatives) in French.

Show moreAlbum collecting 24 of the 28 plates engraved after the drawings by Francis Smith as an illustration to the account by Lord Baltimore printed in 1768. Frederick Calvert, 6th Baron Baltimore, was an English nobleman. He lived in Istanbul between 1763 and 1764. He travelled to the East in the company of artist Fr. Smith, whose drawings illustrated Lord Baltimore's editions. In 1768, he was charged with rape, and although he was acquitted, left England in the face of public hostility. Reaching Naples in July or August 1771, Calvert died there on 14 September. The collection was probably assembled by the Italian engraver Carlo Nolli, to whose work the rest of the plates are related. He acquired directly or posthumously the copper plates by Lord Baltimore, who spent his last months in Naples in 1771. V. Grand Vizier -- VI. Reis Effendi, Principal Secretary of State. -- VII.
