About the work

This photograph of the ruins of the memorial temple of Egyptian pharaoh Ramesses the Great was produced by Abdullah Frères, a studio run by three brothers. Based in Istanbul, it was the most celebrated photographic studio in the Ottoman Empire. This depiction of the sculptures of Osiris and the pharaoh echoes and complements views of these sculptures by British photographer Francis Frith (1992.236) and French photographers Henri Béchard (2006.118) and Adolphe Braun (1992.244).
