Summary

Opper-Egypte was het zuidelijke deel van het Oude Egypte dat zich uitstrekte vanaf het huidige Caïro tot aan de eerste cataract van de Nijl (hoewel de grens soms meer naar het zuiden werd verschoven). Op de tegenwoordige kaarten van Egypte ligt het gebied van het toenmalige Opper-Egypte in het zuiden, in tegenstelling tot wat de naam doet vermoeden.

Pascal Sebah was a pioneering photographer in Constantinople (now Istanbul) in the late 19th century. He was born in Istanbul to an Armenian family and began his career as a photographer in the early 1850s. Sebah quickly gained recognition for his work, which included portraits, landscapes and architectural photographs. He became particularly famous for his images of Ottoman architecture, which were widely distributed throughout Europe and helped shape Western perceptions of the Ottoman Empire. Sebah's studio, which he founded in 1857, became one of the most important photographic studios in Constantinople, attracting clients from all over the Ottoman Empire. Today, Sebah's photographs are highly prized by collectors and considered important historical documents of Ottoman society and culture.
