EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of the Ambassade de France au Caire, located in Basse Egypte. Taken in January 1906, this image is part of Paul Fleury's extensive travel albums documenting his journeys to Switzerland, the Middle East, India, Asia, and South America. The photograph showcases the impressive exterior of the French Embassy in Cairo. The architectural details are exquisite, reflecting a blend of French elegance and Egyptian influences. The building stands tall against a clear blue sky, its ornate facade adorned with intricate carvings and decorative elements. The image bears the signature of renowned photographer Felix Bonfils in negative form. His expertise in albumen printing technique from around 1880 adds depth and richness to this historical snapshot. A pencil caption on the photograph provides additional context for viewers. It serves as a reminder that this remarkable piece belongs to an esteemed collection known as Liszt Collection – not affiliated with any commercial entity. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing scene frozen in time over a century ago, we can't help but appreciate how it transports us back to an era when diplomacy was conducted amidst such breathtaking surroundings.
