Duiventorens in Luxor c. 1870 - 1890

"Duiventorens in Luxor" is a photograph taken by C. & G. Zangaki, a photographic duo, around the 1870s-1890s, now housed in the Rijksmuseum. The image captures a scene of the ancient city of Luxor, featuring traditional Egyptian architecture, likely a collection of mud brick houses with domed roofs, framed by towering palm trees. This sepia-toned photograph evokes a sense of the past, showcasing the enduring presence of ancient structures in the bustling Egyptian landscape. The work captures the photographer's fascination with capturing the remnants of Egypt's rich history, a popular subject of exploration and documentation for European travelers in the late 19th century.
