Gezicht op een bron in de woestijn bij de Rode zee c. 1850 - 1865

"The Wells of Moses on the Red Sea" is a photograph by Francis Frith, a renowned English photographer known for his documentation of the Middle East. Taken sometime between 1850 and 1865, this albumen print captures a serene desert landscape featuring palm trees and a glimpse of a water source, perhaps the fabled Wells of Moses. Frith's meticulous attention to detail and the use of a large format camera creates a sense of depth and realism, bringing the distant land to life for viewers back in England. This photograph is part of a larger collection held at the Rijksmuseum, showcasing Frith's remarkable photographic legacy.
