Antique albumen print, depicting procession of three men ride on camels, on a town street somewhere in Egypt (Cairo or Port Said). Some men and children observe the scene. Titled "Nr 816 Chameause de Mariage Arabe" on the lower right and signed "Zangaki" on the lower left. Slight signs of wear and fading. Newly framed.
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.
