Aubenas et al., Gustave Le Gray 1820-1884, BibliothÞque national de France, 2002, p.111, pl.131, no.119.

Janis remarks: 'If there is some confusion regarding the exact time of day (for here too the effect is like a theatrical sunset, not high noon), Le Gray maintained a strong degree of intimacy with the landscape as a whole. Even in these large and dramatic prints, we feel united across space with the little boats whose perfectly rendered forms seem to beckon us into halcyon infinities beyond the horizon' (p.81).

Kom Ombo, Egypt   1856

Albumen print, from wet collodion negative, uncut stereo pair

Private collection of John Hannavy    LL/31334

In addition to his many large format views of Egypt, Frith produced some remarkable stereoscopic images, renowned for their crisp 3D effects. (John Hannavy, 2008)

This photograph was included in the book by John Hannavy "Great Photographic Journeys - in the footsteps of Pioneer British Photographers" (Dewi Lewis Publishing, 2008 - # ISBN-10: 1904587542, # ISBN-13: 978-1904587545)

Karnak, Egypt    1856

Albumen print, from wet collodion negative

Private collection of John Hannavy    LL/31335

"When I reflect upon the circumstances under which many of the photographs were taken, I marvel greatly that they turned out so well. Now in a smothering little tent, my collodion fizzling - boiling up all over the glass the moment it touched - and, yet again, pushing my way backwards on my hands and knees, into a damp, slimy rock tomb to manipulate, - it is truly marvelous that the results should be presentable at all." Francis Frith in 'Egypt and Palastine photographed and described' (1859)

The huge temple at Karnak was partially collapsed, and much of it buried in the desert sands, when Frith visited. (John Hannavy, 2008)

This photograph was included in the book by John Hannavy "Great Photographic Journeys - in the footsteps of Pioneer British Photographers" (Dewi Lewis Publishing, 2008 - # ISBN-10: 1904587542, # ISBN-13: 978-1904587545)

The location of the Temple of Philae as seen by Frith is now deep beneath the waters of Lake Nasser. As part of a huge UNESCO project in the 1960s which included the huge rock temples of Abu Simbel, the temple at Philae was painstakingly dismantled and rebuilt on a different island above the lake's high water level.
