This book features the vintage archaeological photography of John Beasley Greene, one of the first photographers in Egypt and Algeria.
Few figures in 19th-century photography remain as elusive and intriguing as John Beasley Greene (1832-1856). Over the course of an exceptionally brief career he created a body of photographs that were publicly admired by his peers and continue to capture the imagination of contemporary audiences. Born in France to an American banker, he made his first expedition to Egypt in 1853, where he photographed ancient Egyptian monuments and is thought to be the first archaeologist to use photography. In these photographs, he positioned his horizon lines with precision, at times placing them so low in the frame that the photograph is nearly all blank sky, or so high that the monuments are almost swallowed up by vast seas of sand. Some of his Egyptian landscapes are so visually spare they appear to be of nothing at all. Greene also traveled to Algeria where he photographed the ancient cliff-top city of Constantine and the seaport town, Cherchell. By contrast, Greene's photographs from Algeria frequently present a densely layered abundance of visual detail. Breathtakingly beautiful, Greene's photographs construct a visual record of archaeological monuments and landscapes. Featuring some 100 vintage prints, this comprehensive book aims to introduce Greene's work to a new audience and to reconsider his place in the history of photography.
这本书的特点是老式考古摄影约翰比斯利格林，在埃及和阿尔及利亚的第一批摄影师之一。在19世纪的摄影作品中，很少有人像约翰 · 比斯利 · 格林(1832-1856)那样难以捉摸和引人入胜。在极其短暂的职业生涯中，他创作了一系列照片，受到同行们的公开赞赏，并继续吸引着当代观众的想象力。他出生于法国，父亲是一位美国银行家，1853年他第一次到埃及探险，在那里他拍摄了古埃及的纪念碑，并被认为是第一个使用摄影的考古学家。在这些照片中，他精确地定位了他的地平线，有时把它们放得很低，以至于照片上几乎全是空白的天空，或者太高，以至于纪念碑几乎被浩瀚的沙海吞没。他的一些埃及风景画在视觉上是如此的简陋，以至于看起来一无所有。格林还前往阿尔及利亚，在那里他拍摄了古老的悬崖顶城市君士坦丁和海港城市舍尔沙勒。相比之下，格林从阿尔及利亚拍摄的照片往往呈现出层次分明的丰富视觉细节。格林的照片美得令人窒息，构建了一个视觉记录的考古遗迹和风景。这本综合性的书以大约100幅复古版画为特色，旨在向新的读者介绍格林的作品，并重新考虑他在摄影史上的地位。
