Show moreThe album collects portraits of men and women from various ethnic groups of the Northern Caucasus, such as Imeritians, Lezgins, Nogais, Circassians, Kurds, Khevsurs, Ossetians, Mingrelians, Karachays, Kabardians, and Abazins. Most of the scenes were taken in Georgia, especially in the Kakheti and Gurian region, as well as in the region of Kuba and in Vladikavkaz. Most of the time "auls" - that is villages - are depicted. Portraits show noblemen and noblewomen, families, mothers with child, military officers, and people performing everyday activities such as laundering, bread baking, carrying wine jars or looming traditional dresses, as well as musicians.

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.

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.

Photographs include views of canals and bridges along the Nile, sugarcane harvest, markets, palm groves, Ismail Pasha's palace, temples, sugar factories, mosques, cemeteries, and boats. Pictures show also local people such as farmers, sellers, hairdressers. The album includes group portraits of the owner of the album during visits to temples and tennis clubs. Places mentioned include Nag Hammadi, Abydos, Luxor, Cairo, Al Hawamdia, and Asyut. Some of the pictures, essentially the ones captioned in the negatives, were taken by professional photographers, whereas those without captions were probably done by an amateur, presumably the owner of the album, a Dutch officer. It was during the reign of Ismail Pasha, in 1900 that the first sugar factory started in Upper Egypt. The Dutch officer might have been involved in the sugarcane manufacturing expansion.
