About

Antique albumen prints, mounted on a cardboard and framed. The recto side depicts a group of young in water, titled "Nr 619 Les Arabes remplissente leurs cruches dans le eau." The verso side titled "Marchandes des Glycoriza Caire" is capturing an environmental portrait of four men carrying water jugs. Both prints hold signatures "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.
