Egypt, Sinai, and Palestine: Supplementary volume

Frith, Francis, Frith, Francis [Hrsg.] · 1862 · 35 pictures

Egypt, Sinai, and Palestine: Supplementary volume is a photographic album of 1862 compiled by Francis Frith, a British photographer working in Egypt and the Near East, for an audience of archaeology and architecture readers. Its albumen prints show ruins, tombs, mosques and mountain passes in sepia tones, with weathered masonry, crumbling domes and scattered rubble that a designer could use as references for aged stone, desert light and Orientalist-era documentary composition.
