Show moreCollection of views of Palestine and Lebanon by the British politician, writer, traveller and patron of the arts Francis Egerton, Earl of Ellesmere (1800-57). The attribution of these plates is established by a note in the British Library copy, which also contains a letter from Egerton referring to "my lithographs", which he obviously presented as gifts to friends. The first plate alone is signed: "F. E. del.t. G. Hawkins Lith.". Lord and Lady Francis spent the winter and spring of 1839-40 travelling in the Mediterranean, mostly aboard Lord Francis's own yacht. Lady Francis (Harriet Catherine née Greville, a great-great-granddaughter of the 5th Baron Brooke) published her account of the tour in 1841 (Abbey Travel, no. 384), containing four lithographs, two of which are reproduced in the present collection in larger size. The date is taken from the date of presentation (1846) in the BL copy. Title from item, date devised by Library staff. 13 tinted lithographed plates, including 7 proofs before letters and some with printed captions, first plate signed 'F. E. del., G. Hawkins lith'. Modern half red morocco gilt, green marbled boards, red morocco title label on front cover. Main Heritage Compact General HC.GM.2013.0012 2-D Graphic Item-ID: i22645263 BIB-ID: 2409061 Show less

Show moreThe album contains photographs of views and monuments in Jerusalem, Damascus, the Dead Sea, Hebron, Gaza, Mount Lebanon and the Sinai taken by renowned British photographer Francis Frith, who dominated the photographic publishing industry in England in the late nineteenth century. As a photographer, he is known for the hundreds of photographs he made in the Near East. He appears to have learned photography in the early 1850s and in 1853 was one of the founding members of the Liverpool Photographic Society. At age 34 Frith retired from his wholesale grocery business in Liverpool, to devote himself to personal interests which included photography. Between 1856 and 1860, he made three expeditions to Egypt, Sinai, Ethiopia, and Jerusalem, photographically documenting Middle Eastern architecture and culture. On the first, he sailed up the Nile to the Second Cataract, recording the main historic monuments between Cairo and Abu Simbel. On the second, he struck eastwards to Palestine, visiting Jerusalem, Damascus and other sites associated with the life of Christ. The final expedition was the most ambitious, combining a second visit to the Holy Land with a deeper southward penetration of the Nile. Frith photographed most of the key monuments several times, combining general views with close studies of their significant details and broader views of their landscape environment. Upon his return to London, Frith first published his photographs under the title “Egypt and Palestine Photographed and Described”, in two volumes with 76 photographs. Various other works followed, including his elephant folio “Egypt, Sinai and Jerusalem” in 1860 with 20 albumen images, as well as a deluxe edition of the Queen's Bible illustrated with 57 photographs of the Holy Land in 1862. This album is part of the 1863 publication by Mackenzie compring four volumes: “Sinai and Palestine” - the present -; “Lower Egypt, Thebes and the Pyramids”; “Upper Egypt and Ethiopia”; and a supplementary volume titled “Egypt, Sinai and Palestine”. Each volume contained an illustrated title and 36 mounted photographs, for a total of 148 images. The Street Called Straight, Damascus. Mount Horeb, Sinai. Mount Serbál, from the Wádee Feyrán. The Convent of Sinai, and Plain of Er-Raha. The Wádee El-Mukattab, Sinai. Sinaitic Inscriptions in Wádee El-Mukattab. The Summit of Gebel Moosà, Sinai. View at Hebron.
