‘Egypt’ by The Zangaki Brothers (1870-1890)
C. and G. Zangaki were two Greek brothers who were active photographers in Egypt from the 1870s to 1890s.
The brothers traveled along the Nile accompanied with a horse-drawn darkroom wagon to document the Egyptian scenery and events.
Images included views of the pyramids, e.g., Cheops or the Sphinx and the cities, e.g., Suez or Alexandria, as well of Egyptians going about their daily lives, a teacher and pupils, men by the Nile, or women at home.
The pictures taken were sold as souvenirs to European tourist.
