Antique albumen print, depicting a rural scene, with group of women in a traditional wooden cart pulled by a donkey. A man in a white turban is guiding the donkey, walking beside it.

Zangaki Brothers (their names were possibly Constantine and George), were Greek photographers, active primarily between the 1860s and 1890s, they gained recognition for their stunning photographic documentation of Egypt, especially its monuments, landscapes, and local life. They set up studios in Cairo and Port Said, which allowed them to cater to the growing European tourism industry at the time.
