Lot Essay:
These 1855-1900s albumen photographs of "The Rediscovery of Egypt" represent the earliest days of the successful use of commercial photography. For the first time photographic images could be produced from glass plate negatives allowing European travelers to return home with actual images of Egypt's great treasures. Photographers include Felice Beato (Italian/British, 1832-1909), Antonio Beato (Italian/British, ca. 1832-1906), Adelphoi Zangaki (Greece), Jean Pascal Sebah (Syrian/Armenian, 1872-1947), and Maison Bonfils (France).

Many of the images offered in this sale capture ruins and artifacts that have since collapsed, moved to museums or, in some cases, are under water. The remarkable series of photographs of the Great Sphinx of Giza show it in various states of revelation - from seeing only its head to its excavation and re-excavation, until the now well-known lion's paws were finally revealed. There are additionally many photographs of hieroglyphics, temple ruins, and the Great Pyramid.

Sight; height: i11 n x width: 8 3/4 in. Matted; height: 17 1/8 in x width: 14 1/8 in. There are no visible tears, losses, or restorations. The colors are slightly faded. Light to moderate creases throughout. Some undulation to the sheet. Housed between two non-acidic mats. With plastic sleeve wrapped around and affixed to the verso of the matboard.

Removal 

Property purchased from Revere Auctions by a successful bidder will not be released to such bidder until the full payment of the total purchase price (including the buyer’s premium and online bidding service fee, and all applicable sales taxes) has been made. In addition to other remedies available to us by law, we reserve the right to impose from the date of sale a late charge of 1.5% per month of the total purchase price if payment is not made in accordance with these conditions. Please note that Revere Auctions reserves the right to refuse to accept payment from a source other than the buyer of record. The purchaser must remove all property from the auction premises at his/her expense the day following the auction. All property must be collected within ten (10) days of the auction. If you fail to retrieve the purchased property within thirty (30) days after the Sale Date (such that the 30-day period is termed the “Retrieval Period”) Revere Auctions reserves the right to charge a minimum storage and handling fee of $20 per lot per day. Revere Auctions also reserves the right to send the property to a public warehouse for the account and at the risk and expense of the purchaser, to be released only after payment in full of all removal, storage, handling, insurance, and any other costs incurred, together with payment of all other amounts due to us. It is the purchaser’s sole responsibility to arrange to collect or ship the property and to identify and obtain any necessary export, import, firearm, endangered species, or other permit for the lot.

Shipping 

Revere Auctions offers in-house shipping for eligible orders and referrals to third-party shippers for all other orders. Customers with eligible orders will receive an email from ShippingSaint.com within two business days after an auction informing you of eligibility. Please allow 7-10 business days after submitting payment for your order for Revere Auctions to begin packaging your order. Eligible orders will include but are not limited to, unframed artwork, framed artwork, jewelry, coins, and decorative objects.  Ineligible orders include but are not limited to, furniture, oversized lots, and any lot that must be shipped by a third party.  

As a convenience to the Buyer, Revere Auctions will make a referral for packing and shipping to third-party shipping vendors. This is at the request, expense, and risk of the Buyer, and Revere Auctions assumes no responsibility for the items or the timing of delivery. Insurance for in-transit items is the responsibility of the buyer. The buyer must reach out to a third-party shipping vendor to arrange shipping.

“Oversized lots” are objects such as furniture, andirons, floor vases, sculptures, or any other item whose safe packing will exceed the limits of common carriers. The delivery of oversized, large, exceedingly heavy, or high-value objects is not an inexpensive proposition and we urge you to consider this before bidding.

The buyer must fill out the Shipping Release Form in order for their items to be released to a third-party shipper. This is to ensure that the won item(s) are given to the proper shipping company and reach their final destination safely. This form can be found here: revereauctions.com/shipping-release-authorization/
