Photographic prints mounted on buff album leaves Series II.

Physical Description: 0.88 Linear Feet

Scope and Contents

Images in the group on buff leaves, all unsigned (though two are attributed on the mount to Bonfils), are from an album compiled by an English couple touring Egypt and vicinity. Captioned locales include Luxor (Thebes), the pyramids, and Petra, and include the date of the visit. Of particular interest are two images of a man and woman in European dress ascending and descending the Great Pyramid at Giza with the assistance of many local guides (attributed on the mount to Béchard).

The photographs are captioned in the negative in French and/or captioned in English in ink on the mount; photographer attributions and image numbers also penciled on some mounts in a different hand.
