Gamianoset Sarolides was a Greek photographer active in the late 19th century, primarily in Cairo and Port Said, Egypt. He is best known for producing albumen prints that captured iconic Egyptian landscapes, architecture, and daily life during the period. These images were often sold as souvenirs to European travelers, contributing to the growing tourism industry in Egypt. Although biographical details about Sarolides are limited, his photographs provide valuable historical insights into 19th-century Egyptian society, culture, and architecture.
