‎A nice collection of 14 albumen prints pasted onto 12 stiff album cards, recording a trip to the Middle East. Ten of the photographs are large format [21cm x 27cm] and four are in a smaller format [15.5cm x 20.5cm.] All of the photographs are in good, bright and well defined black and white condition, with just a touch of foxing to them. The backing card is a little darkened and more heavily foxed. The verso of each is blank (apart from our 2B pencil annotated information). These are made up of: (1) The Rock of Gibraltar. (small 15.5 x 20.5) Francis Frith albumen print ref 2528. C1860. (2) The port at Gibraltar. (small) Francis Frith ref 2525 C1860. (3) Kalkara Grand Harbour, Valletta, Malta.

On the deck was a portable darkroom, which is clearly shown in this photograph. There is also a man on the beach praying. (9) Algiers. View of Belcourt (now Belouizdad), (large 22cm x 28cm). Anonymous C 1880. (10) Algiers. The entrance to the port. French. (large 22cm x 29cm). Anonymous. C 1880. (11) The mosque at Algiers. (small 13cm x 18cm.) Leroux #3. C 1880.

(14) An unknown port full of sailing ships. (large 19.5cm x 24.5cm.) Anonymous. C 1880. A very nice collection of early tourist photographs. Mostly French in origin, but from the presence of the Frith photographs, the inclusion of Gibraltar, and the provenance of the collection, we believe it to be a British traveller. .‎
