General View of Monuments Carved into Bedrock with Photographers Dahabieh. Abu Simbel, 1851-1852
General View of Monuments Carved into Bedrock with Photographers Dahabieh. Abu Simbel, 1851-1852. Teynard, a civil engineer, may have learned photography for his 1851-52 tour of Egypt, which he undertook " to study certain questions of personal interest." In 1858 he published his photographic record of ancient sites, the most comprehensive to date, as a book of salted paper prints. Teynard traveled by dahabieh, a small passenger boat visible in this image. He asked his readers to grant some indulgence for photographers carrying out such painstaking work in an arduous locale like Egypt. " A nomad, his working method is always provisional, and the delicate preparations for his photography must be carried out on a small sailing boat rocking in the water, or under a tent standing in the midst of the desert."
