In 1862, the Prince of Wales, the eldest son of Britain’s Queen Victoria, embarked on a grand tour of the Middle East for his education and enlightenment. Accompanying the royal party was Francis Bedford, an accomplished practitioner of the still young art of photography, charged with casting views of the cities and historic places visited on the royal album tour. The result is an exceptional collection of some of the best early images of Cairo, the temples of Upper Egypt, Jerusalem, the Holy Land, Lebanon, Damascus, Izmir and Constantinople. From timeless views of the Pyramids, Dome of the Rock, Baalbek and Hagia Sophia to other-era scenes from the streets of Cairo or tall ships on the Bosphorus, 120 of Bedford’s most notable images are on display here in this fascinating visual tour of the Royal Company’s ancient grounds.
