Adelphoi Zangaki: Záplavy na Nilu, ze sbírky New York Public Library, Photography Collection
Velká sfinga v Gíze a Rachefova pyramida

Adelphoi Zangaki (George a Constantine Zangaki, bratři Zangakiové, aktivní v letech 1870[1]-1890[2]) byli dva řečtí fotografové, kteří se specializovali na fotografie historických nebo starověkých egyptských scén, které pak prodávali turistům jako pohlednice. Občas spolupracovali s fotografem Hippolytem Arnouxem z města Port Said.

Dílo

O činnosti obou bratrů je toho známo velmi málo. Své fotografie označovali písmeny C. a G. a pracovali v Port Said a v Káhiře.[3] Jejich fotografie z konce 19. století Egypta byly sice určené ke komerčnímu prodeji během tehdy prosperujícího turistického ruchu Evropanů do Egypta, ale v moderní době jsou velmi ceněné historiky a sběrateli pro jejich vhled do života tamních obyvatel. Snímky zahrnují pohledy na pyramidy (např. Cheopsovu pyramidu nebo Sfingu) a města (např. Suez nebo Alexandrie), stejně jako portréty Egypťanů a jejich každodenní život (např. učitel s žáky, muži u rozvodněného Nilu, nebo ženy v domácnosti).

Annotations: Traditions exist that these Pyramids were covered by inscriptions and while no traces remain it is quite in – accord with the habits of the Egyptians. Inasmuch as temples, obelisks, and mastabas are covered with inscriptions it is quite natural to infer that the same course should have been pursued with the Pyramids. The Copts have a legend that one inscription read “I have built the Pyramid in sixty years let him who come after me try to destroy it in six hundred. I have covered it with silk let them try to cover it with mats.” Myth describes a Lady of the Pyramids, a beautiful naked woman with dazzling teeth enthroned on [continued next page]

Page Title: Donkey Boy waiting while Tourist inspects Temple.

Collection: William Vaughn Tupper Scrapbook Collection

Album: On the Nile. Cairo to Luxor.

Call no.: 4098B.104 v31 (p.31)

Creator: Tupper, William Vaughn

Photographer: Adelphoi Zangaki (Firm)

Genre: Scrapbooks; Albumen prints

Extent: 1 photographic print mounted on page : albumen ; page 33 x 39 cm.

Description: Scrapbook page contains one photograph of a little boy sleeping with a donkey outside of a temple. The annotations included on this page describe Tuppers experience with so called donkey boys of Egypt.

Transcription: These boys seem to know a little of every European language and are accustomed to tell one that the donkey bears a name suggestive of his home. My donkey at Cairo was named Yankee Doodle, Rosa Neal, at Karnak it was Kalamazoo. Their grammar is sometimes defective for instance the remark of boy at Luxor. "Luce good donkey, why his mother my wife not come?" Their treatment of their beast is justified only by the Arab proverb "The stick came down from heaven!"- they are hardy and will run sometimes 17-20 miles.
