About
Antique albumen print, that captures a scenic view of the historic road leading to the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt. Titled "Nr 74 Caire, Alee des Piramides" on the lower right. The font of the inscription suggests that the photograph (or at least the albumen print) is created at the Abdullah Freres studio. 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.
