Show moreViews of Palestine, mostly taken in Jerusalem, including market scenes, animals (camels, donkeys), encampments and buildings. There are portraits of children, women, religious figures, Arabs and Jewish types, young and old men performing their daily life activities and Westerns, possibly Nadar's traveling companions, yet to be identified. One photograph of Mar Saba Monaster in Hebron. Photographs are not staged, people are not orientalist figures, but on the contrary, they feature directly, looking into the camera. Whether they are caught working or posing for the photographer, their attitude shows a natural curiosity. In the fall of 1892, Paul Nadar traveled to Palestine to cover the inauguration of the railway connecting Jerusalem to Jaffa, together with the archaeologist Albert Tissandier, Mr. Sauvage, mining engineer, and Mr. Geiser, director of the Polytechnic School of Zurich. His work on the railroad line lasted only a few days, but he took advantage of his trip to go on the traditional "Grand Tour" visiting Alexandria, Cairo, Beirut, Tyr and Zion, and Damascus, as well as stopping in Greece and Constantinople on his way home. He used a Kodak N ° 2 camera which produces circular format views, as during his trip to Turkestan in 1890. Jerusalem [?]. Hebron. Mar Saba Monastery. Street scenes. Shops. Hose rider. Jewish types.

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. Amongst many fine images are photographs taken after the bombardment of Alexandria in 1882, and some eloquent commentaries on the popularity of the Grand Tour of Egypt in the 1880s."
