Cairo, Egypt, 1860-1890 (c)
Commercial photograph by 'Zangaki', 1860-1890 (c), 'No 897' in a series, 1860-1890 (c).
The brothers Adelphoi and Constantine Zangaki were commercial photographers based in Port Said and Cairo. In the latter half of the 19th century the increasing popularity of Egypt as a travel destination led to the establishment of many photographic businesses in the region. British and Commonwealth troops deployed to Egypt, or passing through the country, were also in the market for souvenirs such as photographs and postcards.
From an album compiled by Lieutenant-Colonel Arthur Johnstone Richardson (DSO), East Yorkshire Regiment.
