Lot description

1860 or later

Albumen silver print from paper negative, 20,7 x 27,8 cm, mounted on paper, printed caption below.

Framed.

From the series "Voyage en Orient, vues de Jérusalem et des lieux saints en Palestine" by the French industrial, amateur photographer and politician L. de Clercq (1836-1901), who was interested in archaeology and photography from an early age. He was invited to accompany the young historian Emmanuel-Guillaume Rey on a government-sponsored expedition to the crusader castles of Syria and Asia Minor. Aware of the potential contribution of photography to archaeological research, Rey thought that Clercq would prove a valuable travel companion for his skill as a photographer as well as for his friendship (Met Museum).
