About
Antique albumen print, depicting a group of fellahin (refers to peasant farmers or agricultural laborers in Egypt) women in Cairo. The scene shows a traditional donkey-drawn cart carrying several veiled women. Two men stand nearby – one holding the reins of the donkey and another standing slightly behind the cart. Titled "Femmes Fellahs Nr 420" on the lower left and signed "Abdullah Freres" on the lower right. Slight signs of wear and fading. Newly framed.
Abdullah Freres were three Armenian-Ottoman brothers – Vichen (1820–1902), Hovsep (1830–1908), and Kevork Abdullahyan (1839–1918) – who became highly regarded photographers in the 19th century. They established their studio in Constantinople (Istanbul) in 1858, gaining recognition for their portraits of sultans, dignitaries, and cityscapes. Their photography played a significant role in documenting the late Ottoman period, and in 1863, they were appointed official photographers to Sultan Abdulaziz. From 1866 to 1895, the brothers also ran a studio in Cairo, Egypt.
