In 1856, the English photographer Francis Frith traveling up the Nile and then on to the Sinai, Palestine, Syria, and Lebanon, Frith systematically crafted exquisite pictures of ruins, landscapes, and legendary sites. This book reveals the meanings that these ostensibly ""topographic"" pictures held for the photographer and his Victorian audience.
