專家說明


Francis Frith was struck with wanderlust at an early age. Discontented with his job in Liverpool and inspired by the pyramids, he made his first trip to Egypt in 1856, landing in Alexandria in September of that year, travelling up the Nile through Egypt to Syria and Palestine. There he concentrated on capturing the monuments of the 'romantic past'. This photograph is from his second trip and shows the oldest of Egypt's pyramids, the 3rd Dynasty Step-Pyramid of Pharoah Djoser.
