About the Item

Title Page-An Encampment in Ethiopia Original gold toned albumin photograph, c. 1862 Unsigned as is usual From: Upper Egypt and Ethiopia, c. 1862, Vol 3, (36 plates) Published by William Mackenzie, London, Glasgow & Edinburgh Condition: Usual staining, photograph in good condition. Print size: 4 3/4 x 6 1/4" Sheet size: 17 3/8 x 12 " This edition s gold-toned photographs are preferred over the earlier editions for their stronger quality (Gernsheim). These lavishly produced volumes of image and text, offered by subscription, were intended for a cultured, well-educated audience (Hannavy). In 1856-58, Francis Frith made two expeditions, first to Egypt and then to Palestine, to photograph the great sites of antiquity, preserving the views for future generations and making them accessible to people around the world. Working with volatile chemicals and cumbersome apparatus in inhospitable conditions, Frith developed most of his plates in tombs, temples, and caves. For Frith, photography was destined to rank with other pictorial arts and even to surpass them, because at its heart was its essential truthfulness of outline, and to a considerable extent, of perspective and light, and shade. Frith s books proved immensely popular, [their] combination of remarkable photographic views with Frith s first-hand written account providing a surrogate tour of the Near East for Victorian tourists and would-be tourists alike (Hannavy). These albums contain some of Frith s finest photographs, including the series of panoramic views of Jerusalem, the Sphinx and Great Pyramid of Giza, Colossal Figure at Abou Simbel, Karnak, the Pool of Hezekiah, the Thebes Entrance to the Great Temple Luxor, the Osiridae Pillars and Great Fallen Colossus, and many others.
