Summary: Between 1857 and 1860 ten years before the famous meeting between Livingstone and Stanley Francis Frith made three pioneering expeditions to the Middle East with his camera. Here are his remarkable photographs, some of the earliest images ever taken of the Bible lands and the Nile regions of Egypt. Read Francis Frith's own fascinating account of his adventures, including hair-raising encounters with bandits and exotic Bedouin chiefs, and the dangers he faced daily processing his photographs in the searing desert heat Frith published his Holy Land photographs between 1856 and 1862; these images most likely come from that period although possibly published later. A very scarce series of images which are not represented in UK institutions and with a single example at the University of California listed worldwide.
