Interesting photo album, probably compiled as a souvenir of a journey through the Holy Land, Egypt, Athens and Venice in the 1890s. Complete souvenir albums were sold by photographer's studios and dealers alike. However, the fact that the current album has several blank pages at the end, lacks a binding title and contains photographs showing several different countries, suggests that it was compiled by an individual traveller. Among the photographs of Athens, is an image of the statue of Themis, excavated in 1890 in Rhamnous and subsequently transported to Athens. The inclusion of this photograph suggests the album was compiled in or soon after 1890.The largest part of the album contains photographs of Egypt and Jerusalem. After a view with numerous watermelons at the market of Jaffa, it shows views of Ramlah, Bethany (al-Azariya), Khan al-Ahmar ("scene of the 'good Samaritan' episode") and the convent Mar Saba. Before the views of Bethlehem on Christmas day, are two photographs showing local inhabitants: a single rider with his horse before the river Jordan and a Bedouin camp near Jericho. All the major sites of Jerusalem are present, including the Mount of Olives, Wailing Wall, Solomon's Stables and the Jaffa Gate with more watermelons. A misplaced image of the coppersmiths of Cairo appears before images of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. The images of Egypt mostly show the river Nile and the Pyramids, but also a busy market in the garden of Gezireh, the interior of the Mosque of Muhammad Ali and a mummy. Typical images of Athens and Venice follow, with the final image showing a gentleman and two ladies feeding the pigeons on the Piazza San Marco.With the captions of several of the photographs transcribed in pencil or ink. Binding worn at the extremities. Paperboard album leaves with a few spots and several tears, most of the header corners damaged and several repaired.

Zustand: Very Good-. [Cairo]: Gabriel Lekegian and Zangaki Brothers, n.d., ca. 1880s. Large oblong folio (25x34cm.); original brown cloth album with binder's ticket of the Parisian establishment Anc. Mon. Martinet to front pastedown; [50]ll. thick blue card stock filled nearly to completion with eighty-six (86) albumen photographs (mostly 20.5x27cm or the inverse) captioned in image. Album rather worn with spine mostly detached and frayed, corners bumped with some exposure, otherwise Good to Very Good, images all bright and fine. Substantial album of photographic portraits and views produced by two of the most prestigious studios operating in Cairo in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. The majority of the images (seventy-three in all) were produced by Gabriel Lekegian (ca. 1853-1920), an Armenian-born artist who first began his career in Constantinople as a water-colorist before setting up a professional photography studio shrewdly located across the street from the Shepherd's Hotel in Cairo's European District. (In fact the earliest image in this album is of the facade of the bustling Hotel). As well as producing images to quench the colonialist thirst of the tourist trade, Lekegian is today remembered for his modernist tendency to portray the everyday: the peasants, the workers, the women and children of Cairo. One researcher has written "His subjects were perhaps more multifarious and diverse than any other photographer working in Egypt at the time" (Armenian Photographer Foundation). The remaining thirteen images signed in image by the Zangaki Brothers, Greek Cypriots who, like Lekegian, discovered the fruits of the tourist photograph trade and opened their own studio in Cairo contemporaneously with their Armenian competitor, producing "some of the finest images of late Victorian Egypt" ("Encyclopedia of 19th Century Photography," p. 1521). The album is a valuable display piece of both quotidian Victorian Cairo and its ancient environs, capturing its most destitute inhabitants as well as the monuments that brought the European tourists in by droves. Recognizable landmarks pictured here include the Pyramids and the partially uncovered Sphinx, the Mosque of Mohammad Ali, the Khalifa Tombs, the Obelisks of Heliopolis, the bas reliefs of the Temple of Rameses, the Colossi of Memnon, Luxor Temple, and Karnak.
