Egyptian portraits.

[approximately 1900]

18 photographs and 1 envelope

The photographs were originally grouped under the heading 'Egypt 1', this heading may have been asigned when the Wellcome Library recieved the collection from Edwin Fallaize in 1936, or when the collection was first catalogued in 2001. The larger format photographic prints (28.5 x 22 cm) were stored within a folder marked "6 Francaise". The smaller format phtographic prints were acompanied by an envelope marked Lekegian & Co., but there is no information on the prints to confirm they are by Lekegian.
