About

Antique albumen print, an environmental portrait of a Sudanese harpist and a dancer. Numbered and titled "Nr 872 Danse de Soudan" 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.
