Description: Between 1857 and 1860 – ten years before the famous meeting between Livingstone and Stanley – Francis Frith made three pioneering expeditions to the Middle East with his camera, creating a stunning photographic record of Egypt and the Pyramids, Luxor abd Thebes, the Holy Land and Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Ethiopia (the modern-day Sudan). Many of the monuments and antiquities are depicted beofre they were plundered and removed to museums throughout the world. Frith’s pioneering images reflect the essential mystery of the remote and evocative lands bordering the Nile and the Holy Land. With commentaries.
