About
Antique albumen print, an enviromental portrait of a teacher and his students, probably taking place at Bulak district, Cairo. The print does not hold any signatures, but it is most probably created by Zangaki studio, as identical print bears standard "Zangaki" signature and a title "Nr 839 Ecole Egyptienne." Some sources suggest that the photograph (negative) itself could be created by another photographer – Otto Schoefft (1833-1900), and the print done by the Zangaki studio as a collaboration. Slight signs of wear and fading. Newly framed.
Zangaki Brothers (their names were possibly Constantine and George), were Greek photographers, active primarily between the 1860s and 1890s, they gained recognition for their stunning photographic documentation of Egypt, especially its monuments, landscapes, and local life. They set up studios in Cairo and Port Said, which allowed them to cater to the growing European tourism industry at the time.
Otto Schoefft (1833–1900) was a Hungarian photographer known for his work in Egypt during the late 19th century. Born into a family of Austrian-Hungarian painters, he trained in photography under the renowned Venetian photographer Carlo Naya. In the 1860s, Schoefft established photographic studios in Alexandria and Cairo.
